Watchdog Formula
==================================

Install and configure watchdog daemon


Sample Pillars
==============

Single watchdog service

.. code-block:: yaml

    watchdog:
      server:
        admin: root
        enabled: true
        interval: 1
        log_dir: /var/log/watchdog
        realtime: yes
        timeout: 60
        device: /dev/watchdog

        # Salt Stack will automatically detect the necessary kernel module which needs to be loaded (ex. hpwdt, iTCO_wdt).
        # If the hardware model is not predefined in map.jinja the default watchdog driver is used: softdog
        # You may specify the kernel parameters if needed:
        kernel:
          parameter:
            soft_panic: 1
            parameter: value
            parameter_only_without_value: none
