Hi! I haves some questions regarding Watchdog for Pepwaves:
Why is this feature not meant for fleet release or daily use? Per notes on Watchdog Support it seems that it’s a feature for troubleshooting, even though Watchdog is usually deployed as a safeguard in the event of lost connection.
Is there a way to see or trigger a Watchdog event for testing purposes?
Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I personally have the watchdog on on all my deployed Peplink devices, and it only triggered when there was a bug that was causing one my devices to freeze regularly (it did its job and restarted this device as needed). But since then I did not get a single spurious reboot, even under load. In my experience it is well calibrated. I would also be curious as to why leaving it on is not recommended.
