# MaxRetry

The maximum number of times that IDOL Server attempts to obtain a lock. After this number of attempts, IDOL Server logs a message and flushes to disk without a lock.

NOTE: If you use a FlushLockFile, IDOL Server reattempts to obtain the lock every second. If you use Redis lock servers, the interval between retries varies, and you might want to change the value of `MaxRetry` to avoid waiting for too long to obtain a lock.
