Documented ProvidersThrottleDuration value is invalid

[jdeathe]

The value of ProvidersThrottleDuration needs to be defined as an integer. Using the documented example results in the following error:

Error reading TOML config file /path/to/traefik.toml : toml: cannot load TOML value of type string into a Go integer

Ref:

• https://github.com/containous/traefik/blob/v1.1.0-rc2/docs/toml.md
• https://github.com/containous/traefik/blob/v1.1.0-rc2/traefik.sample.toml#L40

i.e ProvidersThrottleDuration = "5s" should be ProvidersThrottleDuration = 5

Suggest also adding the unit suffix s to the debug logs for clarity:

• https://github.com/containous/traefik/blob/master/server.go#L211
• https://github.com/containous/traefik/blob/master/server.go#L215

Fixed by #760

I've just faced this same issue again with v1.2.3.
It seems this doc issue has been reintroduced:
https://github.com/containous/traefik/search?q=ProvidersThrottleDuration&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93

It seems it has been reintroduced on purpose with commit 056fe9a but my traefik won't start if I set ProvidersThrottleDuration = "2s" in the toml config.
It then fails with message: Error reading TOML config file /traefik.toml : toml: cannot load TOML value of type string into a Go integer

@bbinet unfortunately, the docs only reflect the latest released version, including release candidates (we yet have to change to versioned docs, see also #1279). In #1350, we added an improvement to support specifying all time units in either a unit-less format (defaulting to seconds) or with a unit suffix understood by Go's time.ParseDuration. Once you switch to Traefik 1.3 (or a release candidate thereof), you get to pick what you prefer.

Ok, thanks.
