What details do you need?
It's current plesk 10.1.1
OS Centos 5.5 x64
Watchdog is running but it says httpd is down. It eventually gives up monitoring it as it says it stops too frequently.
However in services it says httpd is running, plus all the resource monitoring, as well as it is physically running.
Means watchdog has a bug.

Hi IgorG,
I edited the template file as I am running a later httpd and the pid is inside /var/run/httpd/http.pid but its the same still says its down.
I actually edited both the files.
# Apache
check process apache
with pidfile "/var/run/httpd/httpd.pid"
start = "<apache_start>"
stop = "<apache_stop>"
locate httpd.pid > /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng --status
is running
I just proved its something still in watchdog not listening to where the pid is. If I symlink /var/run/httpd.pid to the actual pid watchdog says its running. This is no fix as on a reboot the symlink is deleted.
Why is watchdog not obeying the template? I checked in the monitrc file, its looking in /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid as I restarted plesk in attempting to fix this annoyance.
Any idea's?

Sorry, it is difficult to say what is wrong there without investigation directly on server.
