Windows service control action

The Windows service control action can start, stop, pause, continue and restart Windows services. All service actions share the same set of parameters.

  • Connect to - Monitor host or Specific host. If specific host, enter the Hostname.
  • Host name - Host name or IP number. Leave blank to use the address of the asset.
  • Service name - Name of service. Leave this blank to get the service name from the monitor. This requires that the monitor executing this action be a Windows service status monitor with only one service configured to check.
  • Type - Select the type of operation to perform.

    Restart service
