When Heartbeat Discovery runs, it creates a DDR that has the client's current information. The client then copies this small file (about 1 KB in size) to a management point so that a primary site can process it. The file has the following information:
* Network location
* NetBIOS name
* Version of the client agent
* Operational status details
Heartbeat Discovery is the only discovery method that provides details about the client installation status. It does so by updating the system resource client attribute to set a value equal to Yes.
Actions for Heartbeat Discovery are logged in the following locations :
* For computer clients, Heartbeat Discovery actions are recorded on the client in the InventoryAgent.log file in the %Windir%\CCM\Logs folder.
* For mobile device clients, Heartbeat Discovery actions are recorded in the DMPRP.log file in the %Program Files%\CCM\Logs folder of the management point that the mobile device client uses.
