In one embodiment, a message instructing a particular node to act as a heartbeat relay agent is received at the particular node in a network. The particular node is selected to receive the message based on a centrality of the particular node. Heartbeat messages are then collected from child nodes of the particular node in the network. Based on the collected heartbeat messages, a heartbeat report is generated, and the report is transmitted to a collecting node in the network.
