Heartbeat configs can be dynamically updated. See the section on config reloading in the [heartbeat monitor config docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-heartbeat-options.html).

If you are using Docker or k8s you can use [autodiscover](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html) to automatically configure heartbeat to monitor your services.
