Watchdog Session
Each Console Automation server has a built-in session called the 'watchdog' session. This watchdog receives messages pertaining to the operation of all other sessions.
Internally, the Console Automation server notifies the watchdog session of various session and viewer events. The watchdog session generates message related to those events, setting the EVENT property of the message to indicate what happened. The table below describes the messages that the watchdog session generates for internal events.
