STB Watchdog Feature

Smartlabs Set-top Boxes have an advanced watchdog feature allowing the device to reboot when critical conditions occur. You can manage these situations using the following settings of the configuration file /opt/smartlabs/nginx/html/srv-pub/networkConfig/config.cfg located on the SmartTUBE cache-server:

[WatchDog]

   LowMemoryWatchdogThreshold = 75

   OutOfMemoryWatchdogThreshold = 82

   cpuCriticalLevel = 80

  • If the amount of memory used exceeds the LowMemoryWatchdogThreshold threshold (in %), when the STB is in standby mode (or displays a splash screen), the device is rebooted.
  • If the amount of memory used exceeds the OutOfMemoryWatchdogThreshold threshold and the CPU load exceeds the cpuCriticalLevel threshold, the device is rebooted regardless of its operating mode.
