USER_MODE_HEALTH_MONITOR Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | The process that failed to satisfy a health check in the configured time-out |
| 2 | The health monitoring time-out, in seconds |
| 3 | Watchdog source. In combination with process address helps to identify what sub-component has created this watchdog. Values listed below. |
| 4 | Reserved |
VALUES
0 : WatchdogSourceDefault
Source was not specified
1 : WatchdogSourceRhsCleanup
Monitors that RHS (Resource Hosting Subsystem) process goes away when
terminating on graceful exit
2 : WatchdogSourceRhsResourceDeadlockBugcheckNow
RHS was asked to immediately bugcheck machine
on resource deadlock
3 : WatchdogSourceRhsExceptionFromResource
Resource has leaked unhandled exception from an entry point,
RHS is terminating and this watchdog monitors that
process will go away
4 : WatchdogSourceRhsUnhandledException
Unhandled exception in RHS.
RHS is terminating and this watchdog monitors that
process will go away
5 : WatchdogSourceRhsResourceDeadlock
Monitors that RHS process goes away when
terminating on resource deadlock
6 : WatchdogSourceRhsResourceTypeDeadlock
Monitors that RHS process goes away when
terminating on resource type deadlock
7 : WatchdogSourceClussvcUnhandledException
Unhandled exception in clussvc.
clussvc is terminating and this watchdog monitors that
process will go away
8 : WatchdogSourceClussvcBugcheckMessageRecieved
Another cluster node has sent message asking to bugcheck this node.
9 : WatchdogSourceClussvcWatchdogBugcheck
User mode watchdog has expired and created netft watchdog
to bugchecked the node.
0xA : WatchdogSourceClussvcIsAlive
Cluster service sends heartbeat to netft every 500 millseconds.
By default, netft expects at least 1 heartbeat per second.
If this watchdog was triggered that means clussvc is not getting
CPU to send heartbeats.

Cause
Hardware mechanisms, such as watchdog timers, can detect that basic kernel services are not executing. However, resource starvation issues (including memory leaks, lock contention, and scheduling priority misconfiguration) can block critical user-mode components without blocking deferred procedure calls (DPCs) or draining the non-paged pool.
Kernel components can extend watchdog timer functionality to user mode by periodically monitoring critical applications. This bug check indicates that a user-mode health check failed in a way that prevents graceful shutdown. This bug check restores critical services by restarting or enabling application failover to other servers.
Like all bug checks, use the system event log to look for events that precede the stop code in time. Events in the log that immediately proceed the bug check should be examined for information on possible causes.
