Watchdog Timer

It is recommended that you enable the WDT by default to activate the fail-safe circuitry. Snappy, a WDT-compatible operating system provides the capability to detect and recover the system from malfunctions or unexpected crashes.

To check daemon status, run the command:

admin@localhost:$ systemctl show | grep –i watchdog

Returns:

RuntimeWatchdogUSec=1min
                                 ShutdownWatchdogUSec=10min
  • NOTE: The default value is 10. The actual value should be greater than 0.

To configure the timer, run the command:

admin@localhost:$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/watchdog.conf
