Need Hotfix for Pega 24.1.1 to resolve issue in node initialization

We are getting stream timeout exception in Pega 24.1.1 which is causing issue in node initialization.
Background and Web User nodes is not coming up if stream nodes are not up prior to other nodes which is impacting our all pega application upgrades post Pega 24.1.1.
We can see Pega default Kafka steam timeout is 2 min and if stream nodes are not up before 2 min other nodes are not getting initialized.

I found Kafka timeout time have been made configurable in Pega 24.1.2 Patch release and can be fix if we onboard patch Pega 24.1.2.

Can we request a hotfix to enable similar configuration in Pega 24.1.1?

@SujeetS70 I noticed this in the attached logfile:

Stream service is configured to run in Internal mode &

Unable to provision, see the following errors:
1) Error in custom provider, com.pega.platform.stream.StreamServiceException: Failed to initialize StreamAPI. Can not connect to the stream provider.

I think you should switch to external kafka asap. From the Platform Support Guide:

Beginning in Pega Platform version 8.7, deployments using embedded Kafka are deprecated, but will still work. Embedded Kafka is deprecated in Pega Platform 8.8, Pega Platform '23 and Pega Platform '24.1. In the following release, Pega Platform '24.2, embedded Kafka will no longer be available.

You can find more details here: External Kafka in your deployment
