“Detected a rolling reboot” — Watchdog has detected “x” number of Linux 
reboots within “y” minutes (where x and y are configurable in /etc/opt/
ecs/watchd.conf). Rolling reboots have a wide variety of possible 

causes.

1. To verify the alarm, look for the message, “WARNING: Rolling reboot 

detected!!,“either using the:

- Web interface, by selecting Diagnostics > View System Logs and 

- Linux command line, by entering logv -w or, directly, by 

examining /var/log/ecs/wdlog.

2. Escalate this problem for explicit guidance with the following steps.

3. Paying special attention to Communication Manager errors, continue 

examining the Watchdog log (from Step 

), and try to determine which 

application failed.

4. Verify that every executable file listed in watchd.conf exists and is 

executable.   Rolling reboots are often caused by executables in 
unexpected locations.

5. If the files and their locations are OK, investigate the trace log to 

isolate the cause, either from the:

- Web interface by:

a. Selecting the View System Logs diagnostic and Logmanager 

Debug trace

b. Specifying the Event Range for the appropriate time frame

c. Matching the “rolling reboot” pattern

- Linux command line, by entering logv -t ts
