​
Overview

G360 includes an optional health monitoring feature called the Heartbeat. When enabled, G360 periodically sends a signed health update to the Garth platform. This helps provide visibility into the general health and status of the G360 environment. The Heartbeat feature is disabled by default.

​
What Information Is Sent

The Heartbeat can provide general information about the G360 environment, including:
  • G360 version and build information
  • Container image versions
  • PostgreSQL health
  • Redis health
  • Celery health
  • General system and estate counts
This information can help support teams understand the general state of a G360 deployment.

​
What Information Is Not Sent

The Heartbeat does not send sensitive operational information such as:
  • User names
  • Project names
  • Connection names
  • Repository names
  • Individual metric values

​
Network Requirements

When enabled, the Heartbeat communicates with the Garth platform using outbound HTTPS. The connection uses:
Outbound access over port 443 is required.

​
How the Heartbeat Works

G360 periodically sends:
  • Health information
  • A daily inventory snapshot
If G360 cannot connect to the Garth platform, the information is queued locally and retried later.
Heartbeat connectivity issues do not affect the normal operation of G360.

​
Enabling the Heartbeat

The Heartbeat feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled using the following environment configuration:
This configuration is typically managed during installation or deployment.

​
If the Heartbeat Is Disabled

G360 continues to operate normally when the Heartbeat feature is disabled. However, remote support teams have less visibility into:
  • The version of G360 running in your environment
  • The health of major G360 components
  • General deployment status
Your organization can decide whether to enable the feature based on its internal security and data-sharing policies.

​
Next Steps

Once your G360 environment has been prepared and deployed, you can begin connecting your organization’s tools. Continue to the Tool Integrations section to configure supported integrations.
