Feature request: metrics from /sys/class/watchdog

Open mirzak opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog

The most interesting metric would be:

What:		/sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/bootstatus
Date:		August 2015
Contact:	Wim Van Sebroeck <[email protected]>
Description:
		It is a read only file. It contains status of the watchdog
		device at boot. It is equivalent to WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS of
		ioctl interface.

Which enables you determinate reboot/reset cause.

How does the context look like? But yeah in general that sounds reasonable.

As usual though, parsing should go into procfs. Or we use the ioctl interface if that can be done as non-root

Hi all, I am adding watchdog stats to procfs. I am waiting for the pull request to be merged and included in a new procfs release.
