  RetryInterval
  The length of time in seconds this system waits before
  initiating a retry attempt when sending an event (when the
  previous attempt did not succeed).
  
  getport_total_timeout_usec
  The getport_total_timeout_usec is the total timeout for getting
  a port from the portmapper for the event server. This was for
  backwards compatibility with TEC as that used portmapper. It
  was used to control the overal timeout for gettnig a port from
  the portmapper (not just a single attempt timeout, but total
  time for continual timeouts).
