Microsoft ADO (number only): 16578912
What I did
Add orchagent watchdog to monitor and alert orchagent stuck issue.
Why I did it
Currently SONiC monit system only monit orchagent process exist or not. If orchagent process stuck and stop processing, current monit can't find and report it.
How I verified it
Pass all UT.
Manually test process_monitoring/test_critical_process_monitoring.py can pass.
Add new UT sonic-net/sonic-mgmt#8306 to check watchdog works correctly.
Manually test, after pause orchagent with 'kill -STOP ', check there are warning message exist in log:
Apr 28 23:36:41.504923 vlab-01 ERR swss#supervisor-proc-watchdog-listener: Process 'orchagent' is stuck in namespace 'host' (1.0 minutes).
