 #### Causes and solutions
 
 The issue is due to the way IIS handles application pools. By default after a certain period of inactivity, the application pool is stopped or, under certain configurable conditions, the application pool is recycled. In both cases the ServicePulse heartbeat is not sent anymore until a new web request comes in waking up the web application.

 ### After enabling heartbeat plugins for NServiceBus version 3 endpoints, ServicePulse reports that endpoints are inactive
 
 Messages that were forwarded to the audit queue by NServiceBus version 3.x endpoints did not have the `HostId` header available which uniquely identifies the endpoint. Adding the heartbeat plugin for these endpoints automatically enriches the headers with this `HostId` information using a [message mutator](/nservicebus/pipeline/message-mutators.md). Since the original message that was processed from the audit/error queue did not have this identifier, it is hard to correlate the messages received via the heartbeat that these belong to the same endpoint. Therefore there appears to be a discrepancy in the endpoints indicator.
 
 To address this issue:
 
- * Add the heartbeat plugin to all NServiceBus version 3 endpoints, which will add the required header with the host information.
- * Restart ServiceControl to clear the endpoint counter.

-The SQL Server transport implements the publish-subscribe pattern. In version 4 and below, this feature relies on message-driven pub-sub which requires a separate persistence for storage of subscription information. In version 5 and above, the transport handles subscription information natively and a separate persistence is not required.
-
-The transport creates a dedicated subscription routing table, shared by all endpoints, which holds subscription information for each event type. When an endpoint subscribes to an event, an entry is created in the subscription routing table. When an endpoint publishes an event, the subscription routing table is queried to find all of the subscribing endpoints.

 ## Configure subscription caching
 
 Subscription information can be cached for a given period of time so that it does not have to be loaded every single time an event is being published. The longer the cache period is, the higher the chance that new subscribers miss some events.
 
-The default behavior is to cache subscription information for 5 seconds. This value is comparable to the average time it takes a subscription message to reach the destination endpoint when using message-driven publish-subscribe (as in versions 4 and below). On the other hand the value is high enough to prevent excessive database lookups in high throughput scenarios when hundreds of messages are published each second.
