ESMPRO Agent for Linux
Watchdog Timer Properties
Monitor OS Stall
(Server) - When this item is checked, the watch dog timer on
the mother board in the Agent sends a message to ESMPRO Manager when it
detects that the operating system in the Agent is hung.
Note:
Your computer must be restarted before this
setting takes effect.
Monitor System Hangs
(SMB) - Check this box to enable the watch dog timer
to monitor the Agent. If the operating system hangs in the Agent, a timeout
message to is sent to the ESMPRO Manager and the Agent is rebooted.
The watch dog timer sends a signal to the server periodically and waits for a
response. The signal is sent at intervals defined by the Interval field. If the
server doesn't respond in the time period shown in the Timeout field, the server
is assumed to be hung. A message is sent to the ESMPRO Manager and the
Agent is rebooted.
Note:
Your computer must be restarted before this
setting takes effect.
