Heartbeat pings your remote services periodically and determines whether they
|
||
|
|
are available. As a developer, you can use Heartbeat in two different ways:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Extend Heartbeat directly
|
||
|
|
* Create your own Beat and use Heartbeat as a library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We recommend that you start by creating your own Beat to keep the development of
|
||
|
|
your own monitors independent of Heartbeat. At a later stage, if you decide to
|
||
|
|
add a monitor to Heartbeat, you can reuse the code without making additional changes.

||
|
|

||
|
|
The following topics describe how to contribute to Heartbeat by adding new monitors
|
||
|
|
and new Beats based on Heartbeat:
