What is the event timeout duration set for Synthetic monitoring?

The event timeout duration for Synthetic monitoring is set to 60 seconds. This configuration establishes a time limit for how long the system will wait for a synthetic check to complete before considering it a failure. Setting the timeout to 60 seconds strikes a balance between allowing reasonable time for a response from the monitored application or service while still providing timely feedback to the user about potential issues. This ensures that any service unavailability or performance degradation can be detected and reported effectively, allowing for rapid troubleshooting and response to issues in the monitored environment.

The 60-second duration is generally seen as adequate for most scenarios, accommodating transient delays while still enabling prompt alerts and actions if components are slow to respond.
