# How can I increase the command execution timeout in yCrash / M3?
Sometimes, depending on the environment, log collection may take longer than usual. During data collection, some commands may require more time to execute. If the execution exceeds the default time limit configured in the system, the command may get terminated before it completes. In such cases, the command will time out and the complete data may not be collected. To increase the allowed execution time, you can configure the cmdTimeout parameter.
By increasing this value, the system will wait longer for the command to complete before terminating it. This is useful when commands take longer to run due to large environments or heavy workloads.
