Yes, that’s true. Someone needs to watch the watcher ;) At Netflix we ran 
Exhibitor in Tomcat and had company wide tools that would watch our Tomcat 
processes.

Hi Jordan,

I have one more question on this. As you told me, if zookeeper went down, then 
exhibitor will start it but suppose if exhibitor went down, then it won't get 
started up right?

So for this case, we need to write a crontab which keeps on checking the state 
of exhibitor and restart it if it is down?

Thanks Jordan. One last question, as of now it is showing OFF next to Automatic 
Instance Restarts button so if I turn it ON on the Exhibitor while zookeeper is 
running and taking traffic, then it will be fine? Right?

Yes, Exhibitor can be used as a co-process to restart down instances. It can 
also completely manage your ensemble if you like.

Checking again to see whether anyone know the answer?

We have a three node zookeeper cluster and we are also using Exhibitor on top 
of each  zookeeper node.

Suppose if any of the zookeeper node goes down or having any errors or issues 
then is there any way that it can be restarted?

I noticed on Exhibitor UI of my zookeeper nodes there is a button for Automatic 
Instance Restarts

Does anyone know what does it do? Right now it is in off state.
