Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to get some more insight into how exactly the heartbeat mechanism works between the UiPath Robot Service and Orchestrator.
Am I correct in undestanding that the UiPath Robot Service is the one that opens a HTTPS connection to Orchestrator when it sends the heartbeas? This connection being the one that Orchestrator uses to send requests back to the bot machine?

Thank you!
