Has anyone used the (undocumented) "--heart" option of confd? What has your experience with this been? Thanks.

What does this option do?

I think it is supposed to restart confd if it times out while heartbeating with some sort of keepalive mechanism.

This is indeed the --heart that comes from the Erlang OTP system. It's not documented, and shouldn't be used.
Actually, I don't even trust it. It's a mistake from us that the flag is there.

The recommended way to monitor ConfD is to run it with --foreground under a process manager
