+\page watchd The watchdog
+\section watchdconcept The watchdog concept
+The watchdog concept of the audiomanger is based on systemd. When systemd is configured via the unit file to use a watchdog and watchdog support is activated
+in the audiomanager, the audiomanager will reset the watchdog via the mainloop in the given interval to prevent systemd from restarting the audiomanager.\n
+If the audiomanager is stuck for whatever reason, systemd will not get this update and restart the audiomanager.
+
+
+\section configwatch Watchdog configuration
+By default, the watchdog is enabled in the audiomanager, you can disable the watchdog functionality by setting the cmake build option "WITH_SYSTEMD_WATCHDOG" to
+OFF, either by modifying the cmake cache with ccache or by passing -DWITH_SYSTEMD_WATCHDOG=OFF to cmake.\n
+The interval for checking the watchdog can be set in the unitfile of systemd by setting "WatchdogSec". The other settings need to be done as well:
+\code
+Restart=always
+WatchdogSec=2
+NotifyAccess=main
+\endcode
+The intervall for pinging systemd is set to the half of "WatchdogSec".
+
+\section winteg Integration with systemd
+The audiomanager will use the library proviced by "libsystemd-daemon" if it is available on the system. If this library is not available, the files sd-daemon.c and sd-daemon.h
+that are provided with the audiomanager and released under MIT licence by Lennard Poettering will be used to connect to systemd.
+
+more information can be found here: am::CAmWatchdog and sd-daemon.h .
