Periodic Heartbeat Emails

[Paul Tiseo]

What would be the best way to configure monit to send a "heartbeat" email on a fixed time span?

I tried "check host heartbeat-check address 127.0.0.1 every 5 cycles if failed ping then alert else if succeeded then alert"

I expected an email every 5 min (cycle = 60 seconds) with a success/fail message, but got nothing. (Emails work, as other checks do result in emails.)

Thanks.
