[ovirt-users] host timeout for remote colo

[Bill James]

We have an ovirt master (engine) host in Los Angeles and some remote 
servers in the UK.
Normally they work fine, but when there is a heavy load on the UK 
servers the management engine has problems with heartbeat and ends up 
trying to restart the nodes.

I saw in this thread that I can change vdsHeartbeatInSeconds 
(https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg41695.html)
but I don't really want to change it globally, just for the nodes in UK.
Also not sure how to get the current setting of that value, only how to 
change it. How do I tell current value?  I heard default is 30 seconds.

ovirt-engine-4.1.0.4-1.el7.centos.noarch

Or maybe its not best practice to have a cluster that far from the engine?
