 If no timeout are specified in a message the defaults specified in the **etc/config.yaml** are used.
 
+#### RetryWait
+
+Instead of solely depending in the ack timeout the **RetryWait** can be used. RetryWait specifies the time in seconds to wait between retries.
+
+```json

+        "directory":"/some/result/directory/",
+        "fileName":"my-syslog.log",

+
+This is the same as the previos example, but it will also wait another 10 seconds after it noticed that an ACK was not received before the message is retried.
+
+The flow will be like this:
+
+- Send message.
+- Wait 3 seconds for an Acknowledge from the destination node.
+- If an Acknowledge was not received, wait another 10 seconds before the message is retried.
+- Retry sending message.

 ### Flags and configuration file
 
 Steward supports both the use of flags with values set at startup, and the use of a config file.
