System watchdog
Help | V-Series Appliance | Version 8.0.x
V-Series appliances implement a system watchdog daemon to monitor critical system processes and conditions. Should one of the monitored processes or conditions fail or fault, the watchdog service performs a reset or restart.
Monitored processes and states include:
*
Appliance kernel -- is the kernel active.
*
Domain Agent -- is the Domain Agent running. This is an essential process that is responsible for communicating between the user interface and appliance back-end processes.
*
Journal Commit I/O -- detect a "journal commit I/O" error.
*
File table -- detect a file table overflow condition.
Watchdog actions are recorded in the system log file, which can be viewed in the V-Series console on the Administration > Logs page.
