Hi,

I’m trying to increase the timeout value on VA. Could someone share commands to do this.

currently on test connection, we are receiving timeout waiting after 15 secs. I want to increase that to 30 secs.

I believe you need to increase the value of healthCheckTimeout attribute on your source and not the VA.

To do so use the [Source Update (Partial)](https://developer.sailpoint.com/idn/api/v3/update-source) API to modify the timeout value.
