title: Get Beacon Diagnostics
body: <p>I an unable to reliably get responses from the API for <a href="https://developers.google.com/beacons/proximity/monitor" rel="nofollow" title="Beacon Monitoring">Beacon Monitoring</a>. About 10% of the time, a request to <code>/v1beta1/beacons/&lt;beaconId&gt;/diagnostics</code> will succeed (although it always takes upwards of 10-20 seconds to respond). The remainder of the time, I see the following <code>504</code> response:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "error": {
      "code": 504,
      "message": "Deadline expired before operation could complete.",
      "status": "DEADLINE_EXCEEDED"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this a known issue with the API, or is there something improperly configured with my beacon instances?</p>
