I want a method to know (within Splunk) that edge is working properly.
Solved
Does Cribl Edge send any sort of heartbeat?
Best answer by xpac
Edge Nodes will periodically (every 10 seconds) send a heartbeat to the Leader.
Actually, the frequency is every 60 seconds.

Edge Nodes will periodically (every 10 seconds) send a heartbeat to the Leader. This heartbeat includes information about themselves, and a set of current system metrics. The heartbeat payload includes facts – such as hostname, IP address, GUID, tags, environment variables, current software/configuration version, etc. – that the Leader tracks with the connection.
Managing Edge Nodes | Cribl Docs
If you have an Enterprise or Standard license, clicking the left nav's Edge Nodes tab opens a Manage Edge Nodes page with two upper tabs: Nodes and Mappings.
The System Metrics source is enabled by default for Edge nodes and can be added in Stream Worker nodes too if desired. It emits periodic (every 10 secs by default) events that contain various performance metrics for the host; i.e.node_uptime_seconds. You could monitor those metrics downstream in Splunk or other destinations to track the nodes availability.
