Heartbeat<br />

Clients send heartbeat messages to notify the server that connection from the client<br />

remains functional. Upon receiving a heartbeat message, the server treats the client as<br />

online. In the client tree, the client’s status can either be:<br />

• <strong>Online</strong>: For regular online clients<br />

• Unreachable/<strong>Online</strong>: For online clients in the unreachable network<br />

Note: Clients do not update components or apply new settings when sending heartbeat<br />

messages. Regular clients perform these tasks during routine updates (see <strong>OfficeScan</strong><br />

Client Updates on page 5-24). Clients in the unreachable network perform these tasks<br />

during server polling.<br />

The heartbeat feature addresses the issue of clients in unreachable networks always<br />

appearing as offline even when they can connect to the server.<br />

A setting in the web console controls how often clients send heartbeat messages. If the<br />

server did not receive a heartbeat, it does not immediately treat the client as offline.<br />

Another setting controls how much time without a heartbeat must elapse before<br />

changing the client’s status to:<br />

• Offline: For regular offline clients<br />

• Unreachable/Offline: For offline clients in the unreachable network
