Set the execution time of an individual check by implementing
timeout system property. Setting of a timeout threshold prevents your instance from running
a long check.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. In the navigation filter, enter sys_properties.list.
2. From the System Properties list, select glide.scan.process_check.time_out.  
   Note:  
   If glide.scan.process_check.time_out is not present in the list, see [Create a new check timeout system property](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/lP6Oo7K1qgJhvAcDXnrwfg "Create a new timeout threshold property for a check if the glide.scan.process_check.time_out system property is not present. Setting of a timeout threshold prevents your instance from running a long check.") for more information.
3. In the Value field, set the execution time for the check in seconds.  
   Note:  
   The minimum allowed timeout threshold is 5 seconds. If you set the timeout to anything less than 5 seconds, the system still considers it to be 5 seconds. By default, it has been set to 600 seconds.

## Result

A timeout threshold for a check is set by the user. Individual checks will be cancelled after the set time threshold exceeds.
