The AEPTimeout (Append Entry Point Timeout) attribute is a Boolean attribute. Set this attribute to true to append the entry point timeout value for a particular entry point to the list of arguments passed to the entry point.

If any entry point needs to fetch the value of entry point timeout attribute from the running entry point (for example, MonitorTimeout and ActionTimeout for monitor entry point and action entry point respectively) then instead of executing hatype/hares command, the attribute AEPTimeout should be set to 1 and agent entry point will get the value of respective entry point timeout attribute in the AEPTimeout argument. The advantage of using AEPTimeout over hatype/hares command is, if the attribute is overridden at resource level, the AEPTimeout will automatically fetch the overridden value.

This feature does not apply to pre-V50 agents. The AEPTimeout attribute value cannot be overridden.
