Configuration

View as Markdown

Managing multiple LLM providers, API keys, and instance-level settings after your first agent is running.

Once you've added a single provider in First Setup, most ongoing configuration happens in Settings.

Multiple providers

You aren't limited to one provider. Add as many as you like from Settings → Providers. HeartBeatAgents routes between them intelligently based on task requirements, and each agent can be assigned its own primary provider and model independently. This is useful for cost/latency tradeoffs (a fast, cheap model for routine triage; a stronger model for complex reasoning) or for redundancy if one provider has an outage.

Rotating and revoking keys

Each provider connection can be re-verified or replaced from its settings card. Revoking a key immediately stops any agent using that provider from making further calls: reassign affected agents to a different provider before revoking if you need zero downtime.

Instance-level settings

Beyond providers, Settings also covers:

  • Channels: the platforms your agents are deployed on
  • Integrations: connected external services
  • Security: API key management, egress policy, and encryption settings
