<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_heartmonitor.html">mod_heartmonitor</a></code> listens for server status messages generated
by <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_heartbeat.html">mod_heartbeat</a></code> enabled origin servers and makes their status
available to <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_lbmethod_heartbeat.html">mod_lbmethod_heartbeat</a></code>. This allows
<code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> to use the "heartbeat"
<em>lbmethod</em> inside of <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>.
</p>
<p>This module uses the services of <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_slotmem_shm.html">mod_slotmem_shm</a></code> when
available instead of flat-file storage. No configuration is required to
<div class="warning">
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_watchdog.html">mod_watchdog</a></code>
must be either a static modules or, if a dynamic module, it must
be loaded before <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_heartmonitor.html">mod_heartmonitor</a></code>.

<p>The <code class="directive">HeartbeatListen</code> directive specifies the
multicast address on which the server will listen for status information from
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_heartbeat.html">mod_heartbeat</a></code>-enabled servers. This
address will usually correspond to a configured <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mod_heartbeat.html#heartbeataddress">HeartbeatAddress</a></code> on an origin server.

<p>The <code class="directive">HeartbeatMaxServers</code> directive specifies the
maximum number of servers that will be sending requests to this monitor
server. It is used to control the size of the shared memory allocated
to store the heartbeat info when <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_slotmem_shm.html">mod_slotmem_shm</a></code> is in use.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">HeartbeatStorage</code> directive specifies the
