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
