Hi Pieter, Looks like it could be “member-timeout”. From https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/10/reference/topics/gemfire_properties.html
member-timeout Geode uses the member-timeout server configuration, specified in milliseconds, to detect the abnormal termination of members. The configuration setting is used in two ways: 1) First it is used during the UDP heartbeat detection process. When a member detects that a heartbeat datagram is missing from the member that it is monitoring after the time interval of 2 * the value of member-timeout, the detecting member attempts to form a TCP/IP stream-socket connection with the monitored member as described in the next case. 2) The property is then used again during the TCP/IP stream-socket connection. If the suspected process does not respond to the are you alive datagram within the time period specified in member-timeout, the membership coordinator sends out a new membership view that notes the member’s failure. Valid values are in the range 1000..600000. 5000 From: Pieter van Zyl <pieter.van....@lautus.net> Sent: 10 July 2018 12:09 To: user@geode.apache.org Subject: Debug Functions on server via Idea...timeout Good day. This might be a weird question and I hope I am asking the right forum. I am trying to debug a Geode function. I am running the server via Spring from Idea and have a few breakpoints. The problem is that as soon as I hit a breakpoint and investigate a few fields the server seems to timeout and I cannot continue. See this in the logs: Membership received a request to remove 192.xxx(23019)<v3>:1025 from 192.xxxx(GemFireLocator:31342:locator)<ec><v0>:1024 reason=Member isn't responding to heartbeat requests [fatal 2018/07/10 13:05:24.880 SAST <unicast receiver,pvz-dell-40480> tid=0x1e] Membership service failure: Member isn't responding to heartbeat requests org.apache.geode.ForcedDisconnectException: Member isn't responding to heartbeat requests [info 2018/07/10 13:05:27.987 SAST <DisconnectThread> tid=0x7b] Stopping membership services [info 2018/07/10 13:05:28.038 SAST <DisconnectThread> tid=0x7b] GMSHealthMonitor server socket is closed in stopServices().

I have one locator and my server connects to that locator. Not sure if anyone has tried to debug functions running on a Geode server via Intellij Idea..... Kindly Pieter
