Deprecated. Deprecated since Splunk 5.0.

Sets the time-to-live (ttl) of heartbeat messages. Increasing this number allows UDP packets to spread beyond the current sub-net to the specified number of hops. Note: This feature only works when routers along the way are configured to pass UDP multicast packets.

Parameters:
