“Application failed unintentionally” — Watchdog is bringing the system 
down because an application failed to start correctly.   The application may 
have failed to start either because:

●

The file did not exist (coincident with Event ID #7).

●

Required application parameters were missing or invalid in 
watchd.conf.

1. To verify the alarm, look for the message, “Application num <#> 

(<application path>) not started. Watchdog exiting NOW,” 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. Verify that the file named in the log exists and is executable.

3. Verify that the string in watchd.conf is correct.
4. If Steps 

 are OK, investigate the trace log to see why the 

application fails, 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 application’s number as the pattern

- Linux command line, by entering logv -t ts

5. Once resolved, manually clear the alarm, either from the:

- Web interface, by selecting Alarms and Notification, the 

appropriate alarm, and Clear

- Linux command line, by entering almclear -n #id
