Question
What is Watchdog?
How to install/remove and enable/disable Watchdog in Plesk?
Answer
The Watchdog extension is a solution that ensures that your server is clean from malware, all services are up and running and there is enough free disk space on the server.
Note: The Watchdog component has been converted to an extension to make it easier to update and implement new features in the future. Updating a Plesk server with the Watchdog component installed to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.67 will seamlessly replace it with the new extension.
Warning: Watchdog is only available in Plesk for Linux, and is not available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, AlmaLinux 9, Debian 11, and Ubuntu 20.04 and later.
