How to modify the Sentinel Monitoring Plus session timeout settings.

Problem

Sentinel Monitoring Plus has got a session timeout mechanism implemented.



The mechanism sends requests regularly to the server to ensure that the current session is not a dead session.



This mechanism has been implemented since Sentinel Monitoring Plus 3.3.0 SP6 so newer versions embed it.
The default value set for the timeout before SM+ 3.3.0 SP10 is 30s, since 3.3.0 SP10 it is 30min.



The recommended value is 30min, the maximum value is 60min.
