The below error message shows up in the ARA logs:

ERROR RM.PeriodicTasks - Error processing periodic task 'AgentTracker'
com.uc4.communication.TimeoutException: Request timed out (60016)

ARA fetches a list of agents in order to keep track and allow user to assign agent to the Deployment Target.

The default refresh interval is 60 seconds.

Since the Automation Engine (AE) is busy because of a large number of agents, all subsequent requests timeout.


 

Environment

Cause
