In detail
The documentation describes hourly usage statistics sent to Copernica, under the name heartbeat. This build accepts heartbeat-enabled and not heartbeat, and prints neither. Whether a node of ours is currently reporting is unestablished — we have not watched its outbound connections for it. For a customer's installation the question is not academic: it is traffic leaving their machine to a third party, and some of them will ask.
