CIM_WatchDog
The CIM_WatchDog class described in Table below represents a timer that is implemented in system hardware. The watchdog feature
allows the hardware to monitor the state of the operating system, BIOS, or a software component installed on the system. If the monitored
component fails to rearm the timer before its expiration, the hardware assumes that the system is in a critical state and could reset the
system. This feature can also be used as an application watchdog timer for a mission-critical application. In this case, the application would
assume responsibility for rearming the timer before expiration.
The following table describes the properties and data type of the CIM WatchDog class.
Class Name: CIM_WatchDog
Parent Class: CIM_LogicalDevice
