If you have a small server that does not have the resources to run python, you can implement a heartbeat with curl.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Key YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"origin":"NAME","timeout":300}' \
  "https://YOUR_SERVER/api/heartbeat"

You can also put this into your crontab -e, e.g. (every minute):

* * * * * curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Key YOUR_API_KEY" -d '{"origin":"NAME","timeout":300}' "https://YOUR_SERVER/api/heartbeat"
