Background
A Heartbeat signal is required from your application to our monitoring system. This is intended to provide a basic monitoring facility to our operational staff to detect outages before they are reported.
...
- An HTTP POST request to a monitoring server within the local network
- The application should have a configurable monitoring server IP address and port.
- Example of payload / body: “'{ "arg": { "version": "1.0.1", "localtime": “"2018-11-16T12:34:23.234Z” " } }”'
- Request header has to contain "Content-type: application/json"
- Configurable heartbeat interval with a default of 120 seconds
- Configurable on/off state to enable or disable the heartbeat
- The overall experience is not impacted by a slow response from the monitoring service.
...
- arg: object – containing:
- version: string – release number (following semantic versioning)
- localtime: string – local time of the device (ISO8601) “YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ”
