What is Heartbeat?

Secret Server checks a password to see if it is correct.
This is done with the so-called Heartbeat.

Why is it important?

It is very important that the passwords in your Vault are up to date.
The Heartbeat runs automatically on a regular basis.
Secret Server can inform you if a Heartbeat fails.
A Heatbeat could fail if someone changes a password manually and does not add it to Secret Server.
