Configuring the heartbeat interval

Each VM sends a heartbeat, or periodic message, to your application to indicate that the VM is still running and available. The default interval is one heartbeat message every 30 seconds, which you can modify in Robot Manager, which is available on Pega Exchange. For more information on Robot Manager, see the PDN article Robot Manager.
