Heartbeat checks if heartbeat is running or if a host is reachable by  
ping.
If you want to check your webserver (apache e.g.) you have to use  
monitoring tools or write some scripts.

Have a look into the various log files and play with heartbeat start/ 
stop/restart. You'll see a lot of what is happening.
