Summary
LuxRiot watchdog is capable of monitoring amount of pool nonpaged memory in use by operating system (Memory\Pool Nonpaged Bytes performance counter). The feature protects from overuse of memory which may bring entire system into unstable state.
Some versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems (presumably non-server operating systems) appear to have memory leak problems caused by long and intensive network activity. Monitoring of pool nonpaged memory usage offers an option to automatically restart LuxRiot applications and/or reboot operating system to recover from these problems.
