The WebServer Watchdog Process is used to detect and reboot the firewall's webserver container for debugging purposes. By default this setting should be disabled and only used under the direction of SonicWall Support.

Login to CLI and use the following commands

conf t
diag advanced watchdog
no web-server-watchdog
commit
exit

NOTE: Post exit, the firewall will reboot once more to save the settings and then the reboot loop stops. 

An admin may also SSH into the firewall to run these commands.
