Description

user story

As openQA instance manager using a multitude of differing workers I want to know how to configure TIMEOUT_SCALE based on performance of the workers to ensure no false positives based on differing worker performance

acceptance criteria

  • TIMEOUT_SCALE variable appears in some common documentation document

tasks

  • improve documentation

further notes

currently I can only find two references to TIMEOUT_SCALE in the sourcecode, one in the backend, one in tests:

os-autoinst/bmwqemu.pm:    return $timeout * ($vars{TIMEOUT_SCALE} // 1);
os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/templates:                        { key => "TIMEOUT_SCALE", value => 4 },
os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/templates-aarch64:                        { key => "TIMEOUT_SCALE", value => 4 },

Current setting in our openQA also features another value for IPMI.

Further impact: This might get more important in the near future depending on the workers that we have or will have, also see https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/10136
