About:
Heartbeat is a lightweight ping-based uptime monitor designed to check service availability and response times. It actively probes endpoints over HTTP/TCP/ICMP and ships metrics to Elasticsearch for visualization in Kibana. It is part of the Elastic Stack, providing a simple way to monitor infrastructure health and SLA compliance.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight and low-overhead execution
  • Supports HTTP, TCP, ICMP, and SSL/TLS checks
  • Integrates with Elasticsearch and Kibana for alerting and dashboards
  • Declarative configuration with automatic host discovery
  • Runs as a service with minimal setup required
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring website and API uptime from multiple locations
  • Verifying internal network connectivity and service health
  • Tracking SLA compliance and response time metrics
  • Alerting teams on outages via Elastic Stack integrations
Alternatives:
  • prometheus-blackbox-exporter – Prometheus-based exporter; requires Prometheus for metrics storage and alerting
  • uptimerobot – SaaS solution; easier setup but less control over data and self-hosting
  • checkmk – Full-featured monitoring suite; heavier resource footprint and broader scope
