Summary

mod_watchdog defines programmatic hooks for other modules to periodically run tasks. These modules can register handlers for mod_watchdog hooks. Currently, the following modules in the Apache distribution use this functionality:

mod_heartbeat
mod_heartmonitor

To allow a module to use mod_watchdog functionality, mod_watchdog itself must be statically linked to the server core or, if a dynamic module, be loaded before the calling module.
