Heartbeat Option

Introduced in release: 8.0

Deployment Map clients keep their TCP connection open indefinitely to the Deployment Map server. Typically, there is only traffic over the connection when a client connects or disconnects or a change is made to the deployment map. Consequently, the TCP connection can remain silent for hours if not days. To prevent network hardware from closing the connection due to inactivity, the client periodically sends a simple heartbeat to the server. By default, this heartbeat is sent every 30 minutes plus or minus a random number of seconds. The period of this heartbeat is controlled with this option. To disable heartbeats entirely, specify a value of 0.

The default value is: 30
