agency.supervision-grace-period

Supervision time, after which a server is considered to have failed, in seconds.

The default value is 10 seconds, which is recommended for regular cluster deployments. For active failover deployments it is recommended to use a higher value for the grace period to avoid unnecessary failovers. In active failover setups, the leader server needs to handle all the load and is thus expected to get overloaded and unresponsive more easily than a server in a regular cluster which needs to handle only a part of the overall load.
