Can you share your full startup parameters for the service including the additional settings you just added? Just hide any sensitive info

nohup java -Dappdynamics.agent.maxMetrics=300000 -Ddbagent.custommetric.query.timeout.seconds=600 -Ddbagent.name=DB-Agent-23.2 -jar db-agent.jar &

That is correct, changes will only be activated upon restart of DB collector service

Tried this but still got the same error

even after increasing the timeout and restarting DB collector services

Hi, add an additional startup parameter to the DB Agent

-Ddbagent.custommetric.query.timeout.seconds=120

Increase timeout to what is required for your complex queries 

Ciao

After increasing it do we need to restart a service or anything
