Description:provides infrastructure for other modules to periodically run
    tasks
Status:Base
Module Identifier:watchdog_module
Source File:mod_watchdog.c
Compatibility:Available in Apache 2.3 and later
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
mod_md
mod_proxy_hcheck


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.
