Heartbeat

RMQ HeartBeat message (type 32)

This is an actual data message sent by LSports through the RabbitMQ feed every 5 seconds. Its purpose is to indicate that the data feed is alive and operational.

The message has a specific structure, typically containing only a header with fields like Type (set to 32), MsgGuid, and ServerTimestamp.

You can use the presence (or absence) of these messages to monitor the health of your data feed and take action if they stop arriving.

Note: Heartbeat messages are without Body (only Header)
