# Implementation

Sample health checks are provided in T`IB_ems_version _probes.zip`, which includes a number of internal tools.

These rely on server heartbeats flowing from the EMS server to its clients as well as a client timeout of missing server heartbeats. Those are set through the following two EMS server properties:

- `server_heartbeat_client` (set to a value >0)
- `client_timeout_server_connection` (set to a value >0)

The implementation also relies on establishing an admin client connection to the EMS server. As a result, credentials for an admin user with at least the view-server administrator permission need to be configured. The admin user name and password will be used to configure the liveness and readiness probes. Additionally, if the EMS server is TLS only, TLS credentials will also be required when configuring the probes.
