Click here to show the 26 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.

```go
for _, servicePrefix := range d.watchServices {
zlog.Debug("Watch Update running now on service", zap.String("service", servicePrefix))
go func() {

initRev := d.initialRevision
zlog.Info("dmesh watching service", zap.String("service_prefix", servicePrefix), zap.Int64("initial_revision", initRev))

// FIXME: We'd need another `for` loop, so `Watch()` is
// restarted when it fails. Or does it need? Would it
// simply retry and continue from where it left off?!

for wresp := range d.client.Watch(d.ctx, servicePrefix, clientv3.WithPrefix(), clientv3.WithRev(initRev)) {
if wresp.Err() != nil {
zlog.Error("failed to track watching", zap.Error(wresp.Err()))
// TODO: make this KILL the whole system?! What,s the failure condition of `Watch.Err()` ?
time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
continue
}

d.applyUpdates(wresp.Events)
initRev = wresp.Header.Revision
zlog.Debug("dmesh peers updated", zap.Int("peer_count", len(d.allPeers)))
}

}()
