# Available System Properties

This article is based on the ServiceNow documentation article. See the original article on the ServiceNow doc site: [ServiceNow: Available system properties](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-platform-administration/page/administer/reference-pages/reference/r_AvailableSystemProperties.html).

Some properties are available on a system properties form, but some lesser-used properties are available only from the System Property \[sys_properties\] table. Sometimes, the property does not exist in a base instance, but can be added if you change the value.

The Instance Security Hardening Settings content contains detailed descriptions, and compliance values, for the security-related system properties and plugins in the Now Platform. To learn more about each of these properties, see [Instance Security Hardening Settings](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-platform-administration/page/administer/security/reference/instance-security-hardening-settings.html).

### `glide.http.outbound.max_timeout`

Specifies the number of seconds that RESTMessageV2 and SOAPMessageV2 APIs wait for a response from a synchronous call. The maximum value is 30 seconds.

To define a timeout longer than 30 seconds, set the `glide.http.outbound.max_timeout.enabled` system property to false and use the `waitForResponse()` method to set the timeout. For examples, see [Asynchronous RESTMessageV2 example](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-application-development/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_reference/RESTMessageV2/reference/r_AsynchronousRESTMessageV2Example.html) and [Asynchronous SOAPMessageV2 example](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-application-development/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_reference/SOAPMessageV2/reference/r_AsyncronousSOAPMessageV2Example.html). If `glide.http.outbound.max_timeout.enabled` is set to true and a value is passed in the waitForResponse() method, the system uses the smallest value from either the waitForResponse() method or the glide.http.outbound.max_timeout system property.
