Agents now send an independent "still alive" record on a configurable
schedule (seconds/minutes/hours, [heartbeat] in agent.toml), separate
from real log traffic and tagged with a sentry.heartbeat attribute.
No new wire protocol -- it's an ordinary record through the same
PushBatch RPC/mTLS identity every log line already uses. Unavailability
alerting reuses the existing absence-condition alert rule type
unchanged; no new alerting code was needed. See
/docs/agent-heartbeat-monitoring.md for the design and how to build the
alert rule.
While verifying the alert rule live, found that the query language's
lexer never treated '-' as part of an identifier, so any unquoted
hyphenated filter value -- including the reference doc's own canonical
example, `host!=host-03` -- failed to parse at all. Fixed in
api/internal/querylang/lexer/lexer.go with regression tests; a leading
'-' still lexes as its own token so earliest=-1h/sort -count are
unaffected.
