The general idea is that users should be able to figure out if some option that they see in a config file or on some internet page is something that systemd knows about. Once users know that, yes, this was an option but has been deprecated and removed from the documentation, it's much easier for them to find any docs in old versions if they want to. Or to switch to something different.

and pinged in regular intervals, but the timeout is not changed from the default. If set to any other

depending on hardware capabilities).</para>

<para>If <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is set to a non-zero value, the watchdog hardware

|
|
the kernel option <varname>systemd.watchdog-device=</varname>) will be programmed to automatically
|
|
reboot the system if it is not contacted within the specified timeout interval. The system manager
|
|
will ensure to contact it at least once in half the specified timeout interval. This feature requires
|
|
a hardware watchdog device to be present, as it is commonly the case in embedded and server
|
|
systems. Not all hardware watchdogs allow configuration of all possible reboot timeout values, in
|
|
which case the closest available timeout is picked.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> may be used to configure the hardware watchdog when the
|
|
system is asked to reboot. It works as a safety net to ensure that the reboot takes place even if a
|
|
clean reboot attempt times out. Note that the <varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> timeout applies
|
|
only to the second phase of the reboot, i.e. after all regular services are already terminated, and
|
|
after the system and service manager process (PID 1) got replaced by the
|
|
<filename>systemd-shutdown</filename> binary, see system
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>bootup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
|
|
details. During the first phase of the shutdown operation the system and service manager remains
|
|
running and hence <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is still honoured. In order to define a
|
|
timeout on this first phase of system shutdown, configure <varname>JobTimeoutSec=</varname> and
|
|
<varname>JobTimeoutAction=</varname> in the [Unit] section of the
|
|
<filename>shutdown.target</filename> unit. By default <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> defaults
|
|
to 0 (off), and <varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> to 10min.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><varname>KExecWatchdogSec=</varname> may be used to additionally enable the watchdog when kexec
|
|
is being executed rather than when rebooting. Note that if the kernel does not reset the watchdog on
|
|
kexec (depending on the specific hardware and/or driver), in this case the watchdog might not get
|
|
disabled after kexec succeeds and thus the system might get rebooted, unless
|
|
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is also enabled at the same time. For this reason it is
|
|
recommended to enable <varname>KExecWatchdogSec=</varname> only if
|
|
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is also enabled.</para>
|

<listitem><para>Configure the hardware watchdog device pre-timeout value.
|
|
Takes a timeout value in seconds (or in other time units similar to
|
|
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname>). A watchdog pre-timeout is a
|
|
notification generated by the watchdog before the watchdog reset might
|
|
occur in the event the watchdog has not been serviced. This notification
|
|
is handled by the kernel and can be configured to take an action (i.e.
|
|
generate a kernel panic) using <varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreGovernor=</varname>.
|
|
Not all watchdog hardware or drivers support generating a pre-timeout and
|
|
depending on the state of the system, the kernel may be unable to take the
|
|
configured action before the watchdog reboot. The watchdog will be configured
|
|
to generate the pre-timeout event at the amount of time specified by
|
|
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=</varname> before the runtime watchdog timeout
|
|
(set by <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname>). For example, if the we have
|
|
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=30</varname> and
|
|
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=10</varname>, then the pre-timeout event
|
|
will occur if the watchdog has not pinged for 20s (10s before the
|
|
watchdog would fire). By default, <varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=</varname>
|
|
defaults to 0 (off). The value set for <varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=</varname>
|
|
must be smaller than the timeout value for <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname>.
|
|
This setting has no effect if a hardware watchdog is not available or the
|
|
hardware watchdog does not support a pre-timeout and will be ignored by the
|
|
kernel if the setting is greater than the actual watchdog timeout.</para></listitem>
