All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class StatusHeartBeat
extends StatusMessage

Heartbeat status message. It is published at regular intervals: it is the pulse of an Agent. Not all agents publish a Heartbeat. This message is meant to be very light weight. It does not provide any encoding. All it contains is the broadcast interval in seconds so that agents listening to the heartbeat can estimate when the next one is expected to be published.
