Description Stephen Gordon 2013-12-05 15:39:26 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-watchdog.

Description:

Libvirt has the ability to configure a watchdog device for KVM / QEMU guests. This device can be used by the guest OS to automatically trigger some action when the guest OS hangs/crashes. This is useful to cloud users to deal with problems in their guest OS, to kill off a mis-behaving instance to allow an external HA solution to move processing to another instance.
