Heartbeat monitoring detection envelope.

A reproducible timing table derived from the detector implementation: checks every 60 seconds, marks a workflow late after 1.5 times its interval and down after 2 times its interval.

Detection timing by expected heartbeat interval

Each range covers all 60 whole-second offsets between a stored heartbeat and the detector’s recurring check. Threshold comparisons are strict, so a check exactly on the threshold does not transition state.

Implementation rule

late when elapsed > expected × 1.5; down when elapsed > expected × 2; evaluation every 60s

How the table was produced

1. Extract

The generator reads the current detector source and extracts its check interval and status multipliers.

2. Enumerate

It evaluates every whole-second scheduler phase from 1 through 60 seconds for each configured example interval.

3. Record

It records earliest, median, p95 and latest transition time for late and down states.

4. Fingerprint

The output stores the repository commit, source path, dirty state and SHA-256 of the tested implementation.

Interpretation and limits

This is implementation evidence, not a production response-time promise. Actual notification time includes more systems than the detector threshold.

Excluded from the model

  • This table is derived from a source-code snapshot and is not a production latency measurement or service-level agreement.
  • Whole-second scheduler phases are sampled; sub-second phase offsets are not enumerated.
  • Network transit, database latency, process stalls, alert rendering and delivery-channel latency are excluded.
  • The model starts from the last stored heartbeat timestamp and assumes the detector continues to run every configured check interval.
  • The results do not measure third-party workflow reliability or customer outcomes.
