Hmm, wouldn't it be nicer to generate this value on the fly on the server side when a client asks for it? i.e. instead of having an actual field watchdog_timestamp just fake it when the client asks for it? WHat I am not getting here, don't you also want to send out notifications each time the watchdog timestamps are refreshed?
