The Watchdog system monitors the status (running or stopped) of services on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
This prevents situations where services stop under certain conditions or fail to start upon system boot.
For example, Microsoft Windows' Cluster service (ClusSvc service).
When such situations occur, the Watchdog system will issue an alert and execute the alert mechanism to enhance overall protection.
