38<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_heartmonitor.html">mod_heartmonitor</a></code> listens for server status messages generated 
39by <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_heartbeat.html">mod_heartbeat</a></code> enabled origin servers and makes their status 
40available to <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_lbmethod_heartbeat.html">mod_lbmethod_heartbeat</a></code>. This allows 
41<code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> to use the "heartbeat" 
42<em>lbmethod</em> inside of <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>.

45<p>This module uses the services of <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_slotmem_shm.html">mod_slotmem_shm</a></code> when
46available instead of flat-file storage.  No configuration is required to
