Log Messages in Octoprint Log

What does octoprint.server.heartbeat - INFO - Server heartbeat <3 log message mean

I have
Raspberry Pi V4 2GB
Official Pi 4 power supply
Octopi 0.17.0
Prusa Mk3s
USB connection to printer
Wifi connection to LAN
Checked thottling but none indicated

Have had what appears to have been a power supply issue with Pi / Printer as had communication error - changed the power connections and the USB cable but still get

octoprint.server.heartbeat - INFO - Server heartbeat <3

messages is the log -- printer seems to be printing OK now, but concerned there is still a problem

Many thanks

It means OctoPrint is still “alive” (running); it has a pulse. The <3 should not be read as “smaller than three”, but as “heart emoji”
