I believe this is an nginX directive, but I haven’t determined where it is that’s controlling the session to expire. I want to stay logged in 24x-to-infinity-and-beyond so I can keep the dashboard on display for constant monitoring. Right now, the timeout appears to be random, so I haven’t been able to determine the directive by duration. Anyone else have this issue? ---

Hi [dspell](https://www.percona.com/forums/member/41937-dspell) could you update me with the version of PMM you have installed, plus platform info and if you have anything in any error logs? Meanwhile I will check if the team have any suggestions too. ---

pmm-admin -v reports 1.8.1 nginx -V reports 1.12.2 Centos (Amazon) el7.x86\_64 MySQL 5.7.21-20 Percona Server I haven’t found anything yet in the error logs. I don’t think this is a bug or error. I think it is a setting. I just want to turn this timeout setting off, but I need to know which one it is. Thanks, Danny ---

Oh, and also using Chrome 65.0.3325.181 (32-bit). I’ve been tracking how long the sessions have been running. 30 minutes 80 minutes 20 minutes 43 minutes 4 minutes Each time it logs out the session, if I try to log back in, it fails to accept the saved credentials. I close the browser and go to [url][http://ip-address-of-server/graph[/url]](http://ip-address-of-server/graph%5B/url%5D). Because the duration of each session is different, I’m beginning to think that this may not be a setting. ---

I think it may have to do with Chrome being full screen or not. The random timeout happens when Chrome is full screen. I had it in normal browser mode and the session lasted over 5 hours, until I switched to full screen and then the session logged off after about 30 minutes. ---

I think I have this resolved. The problem is with Chrome. It didn’t matter if it was in full-screen mode or not. I switched to Firefox Quantum and the session is stable. No timeouts. ---
