Heartbeat check function

The HULFT Clustering function can check whether the HULFT Send daemon, Receive daemon, and Observe daemon are all running successfully.

The heartbeat check function is used depending on the type of the clustering software and its operational requirements.

This function can be executed with the Heartbeat commands which are utilities exclusive to the HULFT Clustering function.

For details, refer to HULFT Clustering function utilities.
