How to configure

Config file keysEnvironment variablesTypeDefaultsDefinition
timeout_readTIMEOUT_READstring (Go Duration formatting)30sThe amount of time for the entire request stream to be received from the client.
timeout_writeTIMEOUT_WRITEstring (Go Duration formatting)0The max stream duration is the maximum time that a stream’s lifetime will span.
