### `timeout` [_timeout_2]

```

The network timeout for the connection to the Kafka brokers, applied to the dial, read, and write deadlines. Increase this for consumers reading across higher-latency links (for example cross-region or WAN), where a large fetch response may not be fully read within the default deadline. Default is 30s.


### `keep_alive` [_keep_alive]
```{applies_to}
<<<<<<< HEAD

>>>>>>> d88456082 (Update `applies_to` version for Kafka input settings (#51862))
```

The keep-alive period for the active network connection to the Kafka brokers. Default is 0s (disabled).


### `session_timeout` [_session_timeout]
```{applies_to}
<<<<<<< HEAD
stack: ga 9.3.8+, ga 9.4.4+, ga 9.5

>>>>>>> d88456082 (Update `applies_to` version for Kafka input settings (#51862))
```

The consumer group session timeout. If the broker receives no heartbeat from a consumer within this period, the consumer is removed from the group and a rebalance is triggered. Consumers on higher-latency links may need a larger value to avoid spurious rebalances. Default is 10s.


### `heartbeat_interval` [_heartbeat_interval]
```{applies_to}
<<<<<<< HEAD
stack: ga 9.3.8+, ga 9.4.4+, ga 9.5
=======
stack: ga 9.3+
>>>>>>> d88456082 (Update `applies_to` version for Kafka input settings (#51862))
```

How often the consumer sends heartbeats to the broker. This must be lower than `session_timeout`, and is typically set to no more than a third of that value. Default is 3s.
