List heartbeat

Reports whether the alert path's heartbeat is still arriving: the dead-man's switch for paging.

GET /v1/o11y/alerts/heartbeat

Addresshttps://api.hanzo.ai/v1/o11y/alerts/heartbeat
MethodGET
Operationget_o11y_alerts_heartbeat
AuthAuthorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY

Reports whether the alert path's heartbeat is still arriving: the dead-man's switch for paging. The o11y ruler fires one alert forever, labelled watchdog="true", and every notification of it that reaches this process is a heartbeat — recorded as ALERT-HEARTBEAT, never sent to a human.

It answers 200 with the heartbeat's age while one arrived within the last 15 minutes, and 503 once none has. A 503 means the path from the ruler to this receiver stopped — the ruler, its Alertmanager, or this process — which nothing inside the cluster can be trusted to say, so something OUTSIDE it polls this and pages on the 503. Process-local, like the replay ring: a restart starts the clock again rather than answering 503 before the first beat can arrive.

Request

FieldInTypeAlwaysDescription

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

Examples

hanzo has no subcommand for this operation — the CLI serves only what cloud's live route table confirms. Use HTTP or an SDK.

import { Configuration, O11yApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new O11yApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.getO11yAlertsHeartbeat();
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import O11yApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = O11yApi(client).get_o11y_alerts_heartbeat()
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.O11yAPI.GetO11yAlertsHeartbeat(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, o11y_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = o11y_api::get_o11y_alerts_heartbeat(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.O11yApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new O11yApi(client).getO11yAlertsHeartbeat();

MCP reaches o11y through the o11y tool, which names its 307 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:
