Description

Summary

Hello, I don't use the AWS CLI to instrument my Lambda functions, because my stack is serverless automated via AWS CDK and I configure New Relic Lambda Layer with NEW_RELIC_NO_CONFIG_FILE: 'true'.

Desired Behaviour

Custom option to pass timeout value.

Possible Solution

I would need to set the timeout through an environment variable.
Implement an option to pass an environment variable to set the New Relic log ingestion function timeout.
Example: `NEW_RELIC_TIMEOUT: '90'`

Additional context

Currently I have an application with specific scenario that needs 30+ seconds, so I'm having problems with the default timeout of New Relic Layer 30 seconds.

Research direction

Start with the New Relic Lambda CLI path that configures the AWS Lambda layer when NEW_RELIC_NO_CONFIG_FILE is enabled, and inspect how existing environment-variable options are passed through. Trace the log ingestion function configuration and determine where NEW_RELIC_TIMEOUT would be applied. Done means a deployed ingestion function can use the requested timeout instead of the 30-second default.
