Hi, Elastic staffs.
I'm testing Synthetic monitoring tool to check my company's website uptime and performance.
I'm using your code, config and image that you support on github.
I have a question about monitoring cofiguration in heartbeat.docker.yml file.
The website that I want to check takes about 2~3s, so I set the timeout config to 1s in heartbeat monitors in the yaml file like below.
```auto
- type: browser
id: my-monitor
name: My Monitor
schedule: "@every 1m"
script: |-
step("load homepage", async () => {
await page.goto('https://elastic.com');
});
**timeout: 1s**
```
I expected that the status of the website mornitoring got fail, but it got suceess nevertheless the duration time is over the timeout that I set 1sec.
How can I set the timeout configuration of browser monitoring in Synthetic.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @shinmaeng, the `timeout` parameter is only used by the ping type of monitors, not for synthetics.
You can set the timeout for your page load as a parameter to the `goto` method, for example:
```auto
await page.goto('https://elastic.com', { timeout:1000 });
```
This sets the timeout in milliseconds.
We do have an open issue to make this an option at the UJ/step level too, which will add more flexibility in the future: [Configurable timeouts (UJ and Step Level) · Issue #133 · elastic/synthetics · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/synthetics/issues/133)
