+ <title>Service Monitoring Tool for Virtual Router</title>
+ <para>Various services running on the &PRODUCT; virtual routers can be monitored by using a
+ Service Monitoring tool. The tool ensures that services are successfully running until &PRODUCT;
+ deliberately disables them. If a service goes down, the tool automatically restarts the VR, and
+ if that does not bring up the VR, an alert as well as an event is generated indicating the
+ failure.</para>
+ <para>Monitoring tool can help to start a VR service, which is crashed due to an unexpected
+ reason. For example:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The services crashed due to defects in the source code.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The services that are terminated by the OS when memory or CPU is not sufficiently
+ available for the service.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <note>
+ <para>Only those services with daemons are monitored. The services that are failed due to errors in the service/daemon configuration file cannot
+ be restarted by the Monitoring tool.</para>
+ </note>
+ <para>The following services are monitored in a VR:</para>
