Watchdog::Process, Watchdog::HTTP and Watchdog::Mysql are classes for monitoring whether a process, http server or mysql server respectively is functioning.

The module also includes a number of 'monitor' scripts which can be used with the system monitoring package 'Mon' (http://kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/). These scripts make use of the Watchdog classes and SNMP.

bin/mysql.monitor (Watchdog::Mysql)
bin/partition.monitor (SNMP)
bin/swap.monitor (SNMP)
