Dell Edge Gateway 3001 Installation and Operation Manual

Configuring Watchdog Timer (WDT)

We recommend to enable the WDT by default to activate the fail-safe circuitry.

  1. Show the available WDT settings.
    # cat /etc/watchdog.conf
    NOTE: If watchdog-timeout= is set to a non-zero value, the watchdog hardware (/dev/watchdog or the path specified with WatchdogDevice= or the kernel option systemd.watchdog-device=) will be programmed to automatically reboot the system if it is not contacted within the specified timeout interval.
  2. Show the WDT environmental settings.
    # cat /etc/default/watchdog
