Simple heartbeat library

Simple heartbeat library

This is designed to work with the simple heartbeat app to send heartbeat status notifications to the server, and ignore errors and such.

Usage

1. Get a copy of the simple heartbeat library from pypi.
2. Spin up a copy of the heartbeat server, and then set heartbeat.heartbeat_app_url to the URL of your heartbeat server.
3. Optional: Call heartbeat.initialise_app(app_name, expiry_period) to initialise your app in the heartbeat server.
   • This is mostly useful for initialising an expiry period for the app. If it fails to contact the heartbeat server, it will propogate the exception up.
4. Periodically call heartbeat.update_heartbeat(app_name) to confirm your application is online.
