That configuration controls the heartbeat interval that the server will "suggest" to the client on establishing a connection. The client can decide to ignore this, enabling heartbeats using whatever interval it likes or disabling them completely. The client API for managing heartbeats will depend on the client library and language being used.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Tim</div><br><div><div>On 20 Mar 2014, at 18:26, John Butler wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302246px">Hello,</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302246px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302246px">
