My PDF server is timing out when I try to generate a PDF from a dashboard. When I do the test PDF in 'Email Alert Settings' the PDF is generated properly, however when I run it on a dashboard it times out after 30 seconds. Here is the excerpt from python.log: 2010-07-22 13:35:36,988 WARNING pdfhandler:340 - body=Splunk;4.1.3;4.1.3 2010-07-22 13:35:36,988 WARNING body=Splunk;4.1.3;4.1.3 2010-07-22 13:35:36,988 WARNING pdfhandler:341 - entries=['Splunk', '4.1.3', '4.1.3'] 2010-07-22 13:35:36,988 WARNING entries=['Splunk', '4.1.3', '4.1.3'] 2010-07-22 13:35:36,999 INFO xvfb:45 - Started new X server.
