Session randomly times out and disconnects.

While using LiveTail throughout the day, it randomly times out even though data is still actively coming in.

ERROR:root:### Your Live Tail session has timed out. ###

At first I though it was the source I was using (it was a low volume category), so I switched to a more active one. Even though updates were coming in fairly frequently, the session still times out.

Is this timeout on the client or server side? If the client side, is it possible to for the user to provide a value (with a reasonable maximum of course)? This is a very useful tool, but the session timeout is a bit limiting.

Hi @dmuysson the timeout is currently configured to be 30mins per session for the CLI (Its a 60min timeout on the UI). How long would you typically want to have a livetail session running?

I'd like it to be configurable or not to time out at all.

I second this. Is it possible by now to extend this time out? I'd like to leave the Live Tail running on a screen in the office.
