C.
watchdog/enabled=1
By default the watchdog mechanism is enabled in the configuration file
(1=enabled; 0=disabled).
Note: The watchdog/enabled=1 has no effect if watchdog/armed is set to 0.
D.
watchdog/percentagefail=10
This parameter shows the percentage of successful attempts to:
- Ping the configured endpoint address (check watchdog/endpointaddr
parameter; the default endpoint IP Address is 8.8.8.8)
- Reach https://www.prosoft.io/device-gateway/status
If out of 100 attempts there are 10 successful and 90 failed, the gateway
will not reboot. If the successful attempts are less than 10, the gateway
will reboot.
E.
watchdog/endpointtimeout=15
This is the time value expressed in minutes for the cases when the
watchdog resets itself after 15 minutes.
Cases:
- No connection to the configured endpoint address (check
watchdog/endpointaddr parameter; by default there is no endpoint
configured).
- No Belden Horizon connection while endpoint address is reachable.
F.
watchdog/endpointaddr is set to: 8.8.8.8
By default endpoint IP address configured is 8.8.8.8. This is used to
perform a health check of the gateway connectivity to the designated IP
address 8.8.8.8. This parameter can be configured with any IPv4 address.
G.
watchdog/armed is set to: 0
For the cases when there is no internet connection available at boot time,
the watchdog/armed parameter prevents the unit from resetting itself
spontaneously. This parameter is not configurable. The state changes
from 0 to 1 when an internet connection is detected. Once this happens,
the watchdog mechanism will start. From that point onward this parameter
will not go back to 0 unless a factory reset is issued.

Once the desired watchdog configuration is set, you can load it back on the
gateway from the local UI.
