For a LiveWire that has support for group engines (v25.2.0+), a hearbeat message will be sent between all group engines at a specified interval.
Every time a heartbeat is sent, information about the group engines will be exchanged. This will effectively update the “Last Contact” time and “Version” for both the group engine on this LiveWire and this LiveWire on the group engine.
Note: The group engine must also have support for group engines (v25.2.0+)
for this LiveWire to get a response.
Note: For a group engine pair, the group engine heartbeat will only be
sent from 1 LiveWire. In other words, both engines do not send a group engine heartbeat. Only
one side will send a heartbeat so as to reduce duplicate communication. If the user added the
group engine through this LiveWire’s Engines View, then the first group engine heartbeat will
come from this LiveWire, but all other group engine heartbeats will come from the group engine
that was inserted. If the user added the group engine through the Omnipeek Windows installer,
then that Omnipeek Windows engine will send all group engine heartbeats.
When the user deletes a group engine from either side, the corresponding group engine on the other side will be deleted during the next heartbeat.
