Send Heartbeat Messages To RabitMQ

Usage is easy:

var heartbeat = require( 'amqp-heartbeat' )
heartbeat.start( 'amqp://user:password@localhost', 'Some Service Name' )

You should update the status regulary, e.g.:

heartbeat.setStatus( 'Users in web shop: '+ sessionCount )

Run RabbitMQ (Docker Container)

docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit --name some-rabbit -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=user -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=password rabbitmq:3-management
