## 2 Classes

class `IPython.parallel.controller.heartmonitor.``Heart`(in_addr, out_addr, mon_addr=None, in_type=2, out_type=5, mon_type=1, heart_id=None)

  Bases: `object`

  A basic heart object for responding to a HeartMonitor. This is a simple wrapper with defaults for the most common Device model for responding to heartbeats.

  It simply builds a threadsafe zmq.FORWARDER Device, defaulting to using SUB/DEALER for in/out.

  You can specify the DEALER’s IDENTITY via the optional heart_id argument.

class `IPython.parallel.controller.heartmonitor.``HeartMonitor`(**kwargs)

  Bases: `IPython.config.configurable.LoggingConfigurable`
