<h3>Summary</h3>

<p> <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_heartbeat.html">mod_heartbeat</a></code> sends multicast messages to a <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_heartmonitor.html">mod_heartmonitor</a></code> listener 
that advertises the servers current connection count.  Usually, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_heartmonitor.html">mod_heartmonitor</a></code>
will be running on a proxy server with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_lbmethod_heartbeat.html">mod_lbmethod_heartbeat</a></code> loaded, which allows
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> to use the "heartbeat" <em>lbmethod</em> inside
of <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>.</p>
<p>
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_heartbeat.html">mod_heartbeat</a></code> itself is loaded on the origin server(s) that serve requests 
    through the proxy server(s).  
</p>

    <div class="warning">
        To use <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_heartbeat.html">mod_heartbeat</a></code>,

  <p>
      Every 1 second, this module generates a single multicast UDP
      packet, containing the number of busy and idle workers.  The
      packet is a simple ASCII format, similar to GET query parameters
      in HTTP.
  </p>
  
<div class="example"><h3>An Example Packet</h3><p><code>
v=1&amp;ready=75&amp;busy=0
</code></p></div>

  <p>
    Consumers should handle new variables besides busy and ready,
    separated by '&amp;', being added in the future.
  </p>

<p>The <code class="directive">HeartbeatAddress</code> directive specifies the
multicast address to which <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_heartbeat.html">mod_heartbeat</a></code> will send
status information. This address will usually correspond to a configured
 <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_heartmonitor.html#heartbeatlisten">HeartbeatListen</a></code> on a
frontend proxy system.</p>

HeartbeatAddress 239.0.0.1:27999
