What is the default script timeout duration in Synthetic monitoring?

In Synthetic monitoring, the default script timeout duration is set to 5 minutes. This period is significant as it balances the need to allow scripts sufficient time to execute fully while ensuring that resources are not held up for too long in case of an issue with the monitored application or service. If a script exceeds this timeout, it will be terminated, allowing for quicker detection of problems and freeing up the monitoring resources for subsequent tests. This timeout duration is a critical configuration that supports the efficient operation of Synthetic monitoring, helping users maintain robust and responsive monitoring setups.
