Question Is there an equivalent for psa-watchdog to restart services on Ubuntu?

HostaHost

Silver Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 20LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
18
Since Watchdog remains unavailable for Ubuntu 20LTS, is there a Plesk supported equivalent extension that accomplish the same service monitoring and automatic restarting? I don't know how this basic requirement is not built into the core Plesk software given a web server is not particularly useful if the web services are down, whether due to nginx or apache. Plesk sometimes does a config or log rotate restart that results in one of the two remaining down, and with watchdog it would be restarted a minute later, with Plesk 18 on Ubuntu, it just remains dead until someone intervenes.
