  title: OpsGenie Heartbeat Heartbeats API
  description: The OpsGenie Heartbeat API allows developers to set up and manage heartbeat monitors that track the health and availability of systems and services. Heartbeats work by expecting periodic pings from monitored systems, and when a ping is not received within the configured interval, OpsGenie generates an alert. The API provides endpoints for creating, updating, deleting, and pinging heartbeats, enabling automated health monitoring for infrastructure and applications.
