# idle_timeout How long a connection will remain open and idle, waiting to be reused for another delivery attempt, before being closed. The value is specified as a integer in seconds, or as a string using syntax like `"2min"` for a two minute duration. The default is `60s`. ```lua kumo.on('get_egress_path_config', function(domain, source_name, site_name) return kumo.make_egress_path { idle_timeout = 60, } end) ```
