The Heartbeat is the interval rate at which job server information is sent

default Heartbeat value is five minutes.
Step 7 To change the value of the Set Agent Timeout to a value other than five
seconds, type 5 on the options menu, then enter the new interval rate.

KM does not receive the Heartbeat during this time, then it assumes that
the server is offline. The default unit of time is five seconds.
