taskToken
is still making progress. This action resets the Heartbeat
clock. The Heartbeat
threshold is specified in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition. This action does not in itself create an event in the execution history. However, if the task times out, the execution history will contain an ActivityTimedOut
event. The Timeout
of a task, defined in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition, is its maximum allowed duration, regardless of the number of SendTaskHeartbeat requests received.
This operation is only useful for long-lived tasks to report the liveliness of the task.
