Core Features & Use Cases

  • Heartbeat discovery & status: List existing heartbeats and review whether they are enabled, when they last ran, and their recent cost.
  • Operational control: Enable or disable specific heartbeats and manually trigger a run when you need an immediate result.
  • Run audit trail: Inspect recent run history (including failures/timeouts) and review the last 10 runs for the most recent execution details.

Quick Start

Ask to run or manage heartbeats by saying something like: List all heartbeats, enable atlas-4h, and run atlas heartbeat now.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor heartbeat scheduling and costs across multiple proactive agents?

Heartbeat run auditing tracks recent execution history by inspecting the last 10 runs, capturing failures and timeouts to provide visibility into manual triggers and scheduled execution behavior.

How do I manually trigger a proactive agent heartbeat run?

You can manually trigger a heartbeat run by issuing a run command for a specific agent, which sends a POST request to the heartbeats API endpoint to execute the task immediately outside its regular schedule.

Can I enable or disable specific proactive agent heartbeats?

Yes, you can toggle the enabled state of specific heartbeats. This operational control allows you to pause or activate scheduled agent runs to manage operational costs and execution behavior.

What is the best way to audit recent heartbeat run history and failures?

The best way to audit heartbeat runs is to inspect the recent run history, which displays detailed execution information including failures and timeouts for the last 10 runs.

Do I need a dashboard backend SDK client to manage agent heartbeats?

Yes, managing agent heartbeats requires using the dashboard backend SDK client to correctly call the heartbeats API endpoints for listing, patching, running, and optionally deleting scheduled tasks.
