Hi all - Just an FYI that I have enabled a watchdog timer (virtual) device in our virt-install command for new VMs in staging, a few days ago. This is something Kevin asked me to look into a while back. There shouldn't be any noticeable changes, but as staging VMs get rebuilt, they will have a /dev/watchdog device and a 'watchdog' service running. Relevant commit is here: [1]. Let me know if there are any problems or questions or reboot loops (hopefully not!) on new VM builds. Existing (non-rebuilt) VMs do not have the watchdog device at this time, so this message only concerns new or rebuilt VMs. Also, if anyone is really familiar with the watchdog daemon and can suggest other checks to add, please chime in! It looks like it is capable of a fair number of types of checks, but right now I just have it in the most simple configuration possible. If this goes well with stg VM rebuilds for a while, we can drop the conditionals and move it to prod in a similar fashion (as VMs get rebuilt). Alternatively, we could edit our VMs XML files and add the device manually, and install watchdog (via ansible) on everything. I defer to Kevin for the decision on that. -Ricky [1] https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/commit/?id=edc4b7067d6ab7dd5f2f2eaa038a953f24f83ce9
