on the gateway if you go to the diagnostics tab there should be a tab called scripts where you should be able to see some additional information on the running scripts. there is also a spot to check gateway CPU usage in the overview of the diagnostics tab. you could also use a logger to help track the script [system.util.getLogger | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/appendix/scripting-functions/system-util/system-util-getLogger) if you're looking to check script performance you could use this \/ > [@Wisdom from performance testing Ignition](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wisdom-from-performance-testing-ignition/114769/15): > > In jython, use java's `System.nanoTime()` call to obtain cross-CPU synchronized clock nanoseconds. This call is specifically designed for performance tracking. > > In Ignition's expression language, consider using my Integration Toolkit's `nanoTime()` and/or `timeMe()` expression functions. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-check-the-load-performance-impact-of-project-library-scripts-on-the-ignition-gateway/115596)._
