cisco-staros-cli-5.22 - nso 4.2.1

Hi Expert, 

I got this error when I try to sync-from from one of my device:

anthony@ncs# devices device mv-lab sync-from 
result false
info External error in the NED implementation for device mv-lab: read timeout after 20 seconds, blocked on "\r\n" when waiting for "Continue\\?\\[confirm\\]" | "Are you sure? \\[Yes|No\\]:" | "\\A[^\\(#|>|%) ]+(#|>|%)[ ]?$"

question: what command is triggered (by NSO) during "sync-from" command (that may trigger this error)?

I SSH to the device directly and i didn't get Continue\\?\\[confirm\\] prompt

as per com.tailf.packages.ned.staros.CiscoStarosNedCli.executeShowCommand(CiscoStarosNedCli.java:1344)

    private String executeShowCommand(NedWorker worker, String showCommand,
            boolean isCheckSum)
            throws IOException, SSHSessionException, NedException {
        setReadTimeout(worker);
        session.print(showCommand + "\n");
        session.expect(showCommand, worker);
        if (isCheckSum) {
            session.expect("Generating configuration ...", worker);
        }
        NedExpectResult expectRes = session.expect(PLW_EXEC_PROMPT, worker);
        if (expectRes.getHit() == 1) {

it looks like this CLI is causing error:

anthony@ncs# devices device mv-lab live-status exec show config checksum
Error: External error in the NED implementation for device mv-lab: read timeout after 20 seconds, blocked on "\r\r\n  Generating configuration ...\r\n" when waiting for "Continue\\?\\[confirm\\]" | "Are you sure? \\[Yes|No\\]:" | "\\A.*\\(.*\\)(#|>|%)[ ]?$" | "\\A[^\\(#|>|%) ]+(#|>|%)[ ]?$"

when I run the command directly on the device, i didnt get error. but the output is coming after 20s

[local]mv-asr5k# show config checksum

  Generating configuration ...

question: is there any way to increase NSO timer (of waiting an output)?

First of all, you probably want to turn on ned-traces for this kind of troubleshooting. Second, yes, you have both read-timeout and write-timeout available on the device (as well as in global-settings).

thanks @vleijon  - increasing read timeout solve my problem
