Thanks for a quick response, Brian. There is more to the logic than I thought. You are right it was set to the default of 10s, I bumped it up to 25s and scrape interval is set to 30s. But I am still a little confused about what the timeout in the module is for. Would you mind explaining it if you have a minute? I really appreciate your time and expertise.
