process monitor
process monitor log|restart|
Description
The process monitor validates the integrity of processes every 120 seconds. If a process does not respond during
three consecutive 120-second timeout intervals, that process is flagged as nonresponsive and the process monitor will
create a log message, restart the process or reboot the controller
Syntax
Parameter Description
log
The process monitor creates a log message when a process fails to responding properly. This is
the default behavior for the process monitor
restart
This parameter enables strict behavior for runtime processes.
When you enable this option, the process monitor will restart processes that fail to responding
properly.
Usage Guidelines
The CLI command process monitor log enables logging for process monitoring. By default, whenever a process does
not update a required file or send a heartbeat pulse within the required time limit, the process monitor records a
critical log message, but does not restart any process. If you want the configure watchdog to restart a process once it
fails to respond, use the CLI command process monitor restart.
Example
The following changes the default process monitor behavior, so the process monitor restarts nonresponsive processes.
(host) #process monitor restart
Related Commands
The show process monitor statistics command displays the current status of all the processes running under the
process monitor watchdog. A partial example of the output of this command is shown below:
host) (config) #show process monitor statistics
