Is there a way to track outgoing tasks on a gateway network connection? I have a script that is writing to tags on a remote gateway and is occasionally failing. I want to pinpoint the times that is happening and verify that this is due to things like a bad gateway network connection. Any advice is appreciated! ---

So I am not sure where the script is executing. My client has configured a bunch of tag event scripts in the tags themselves and I am going off of a Scripting[system\_util\_tag] event in the logs that is giving me a timeout. I guess I am trying to confirm that this is in fact being caused by the tag event scripts attempting a write while the connection is down leading to a Timeout. ---

Could you point me to some resources that talk about that freezing of the tag subsystem? I will want to include that in my report to my client. ---

Here are a couple of Topics related to this: > [@Tag Change Missed Events](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/tag-change-missed-events/37764): > > What does the missed events parameter mean in a tag change script? Does it mean that one script failed to execute because it changed so fast? I have several tags that change at fast at most 10 per second. Does the missed event true mean it failed to a tag change script on a a change? > [@Tag Value Change Scripts: Are They Run Asynchronously?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/tag-value-change-scripts-are-they-run-asynchronously/53749): > > If I have a value change script on a tag that calls a project script and the tag changes again before the last change finishes its execution, will it interrupt the first script call? Or does the tag change script get run in an asynchronous manner? Is this different between v7.9 and v8.1?
