### Configure Agent Thread Timeout

In order to manage Agent resources on both the WebLogic Administration Server and Managed Servers, Guardian enables you to specify the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that can elapse before a thread is terminated. The Agent Thread Timeout parameter governs this timeout. The default is `60`.

There are two ways to set the Agent Thread Timeout parameter:

- When activating the domain, you can set the Agent Thread Timeout parameter in the Advanced tab page of the Domain Activation Wizard (see Activate Domain on page 47).
- If the domain is already activated, you can set the Agent Thread Timeout parameter in the Domain Properties dialog box (see below).

To set the Agent Thread Timeout value for an activated domain, do the following:

1. In the Navigation pane, click the Domain Explorer tab to open the Domain Explorer.
2. Right-click on the domain name and select Modify Domain from the context menu.

This displays the Domain Properties dialog box.

3. Select or enter a value in the Agent Thread Timeout field.

This can be an integer value from `10` to `600`. The default is `60`.

4. Click OK.

This resets Agent Thread Timeout to the specified value for the selected domain.
