7.7. Heartbeat
Like AutoPing, the Heartbeat monitor
allows iBoot-G2+ to automatically detect
failures in critical devices. With the
Heartbeat monitor enabled, iBoot-G2+ will
expect a message, either from the USB
port or network at regular intervals.
When it misses a user defined number of
intervals, it will perform its programmed
action.
Use the heartbeat to insure that you server
is running. When the server crashes, it will
be automatically rebooted.
The heartbeat can be generated in any of
several ways;
Using the iBoot Utility,
A Windows .dll file is also available for use by Windows applications.
The Heartbeat Protocol will allow developers to imbed this capability directly into their software
products.
All of the above are available at
