Hi All,

I am trying to increase the request timeout value in the gatling.conf (by default all are commented). How to check whether the request time out is taken or not in the simulation.

Is there a way to check using an API in the simulation.

Thanks

Why would the configured value be not taken?!

Initially I would take the configured value but I wanted to change its value to check a particular use case.

Thanks
