Timeouts vs poll gaps
A timeout indicates a missing response. A poll gap indicates no request was sent. TorchScope separates the two so teams can act on the right cause.
How to tell the difference
- Timeouts show a request with no matching response within the expected window.
- Poll gaps show missing request intervals or scheduling pauses.
- Transaction timelines make the gaps visual and replayable.
Use a transaction export to prove whether a device missed a response or the master paused polling.
