Rename heartbeats to cron check-ins and other improvements

Node.js3.4.9

Changed

  • Rename heartbeats to cron check-ins. Calls to Appsignal.heartbeat and Appsignal.Heartbeat should be replaced with calls to Appsignal.checkIn.cron and Appsignal.checkIn.Cron, for example:

    JavaScript
    // Before import { heartbeat } from "@appsignal/nodejs"; heartbeat("do_something", () => { do_something(); }); // After import { checkIn } from "@appsignal/nodejs"; checkIn.cron("do_something", () => { do_something; });

Deprecated

  • Calls to Appsignal.heartbeat and to the Appsignal.Heartbeat constructor will emit a deprecation warning.

Fixed

  • Prevent internal AppSignal requests from being instrumented and appearing in the "Slow API requests" panel.
