Summary: Huntress Watchdog functionality monitors the Huntress services on endpoints.
Huntress's software has built-in monitoring of its services. The watchdog services monitor the HuntressAgent, HuntressUpdater, and Rio services. If one of these services stops, hangs, or has issues, the watchdog service will attempt to repair and restart it. Information on watchdog actions is logged and recorded in the HuntressUpdater.log file and sent to Huntress Engineering. We are looking into expanding the monitor and alerts to make additional information available in the Huntress portal in 2025.
