What happens if the 'number of heartbeats that can be missed before an alert is raised' is set to unlimited?

Setting the 'number of heartbeats that can be missed before an alert is raised' to unlimited means that the system will not trigger alerts regardless of how many heartbeats are missed. Consequently, this results in the disabling of alerts for offline Deep Security Agents (DSAs).

In this scenario, the system will essentially overlook any missed heartbeats, indicating that the DSAs can go offline without prompting alerts to notify administrators about the issue. Such a configuration could lead to oversight of potential security vulnerabilities since administrators would not be alerted to agents that are not functioning as expected. Thus, while planners can continuously monitor resources, the ability to receive notifications becomes disabled, allowing potentially critical downtime to go unnoticed.
