Services Check

NAVIGATION  Monitor > Edit > Monitor Sets

  • Select a monitor set in a folder, then Services Check

The Services Check tab defines alarms conditions for a service if the service on a machine ID has stopped, and optionally attempts to restart the stopped service. The service must be set to automatic to be restarted by a monitor set.

Note: Be aware that monitoring of per-user services is not supported.

  1. Service - Selects the service to be monitored from the drop-down list.
  • The drop-down list is based on the "master list" maintained using the Monitor Lists page. If a service does not display in the drop-down list, you can add it manually using Add Service.
  • You can add an asterisk (*) wildcard service to the Name or Description columns in the list of services supported using the Monitor Lists > Service tab. Once added, the wildcard service will display in the drop-down list of services. For example specifying the service *SQL SERVER* will monitor all services that include the string SQL SERVER in the name of the service.
  • You can add a service called *ALL to the Name or Description columns in the list of services supported using the Monitor Lists > Service tab. Once added, the *ALL value will display in the drop-down list of services. Selecting the *ALL service means you want to monitor all services.

    NOTE   Specifying a range of services using the * wildcard character requires Enable Matching be checked.
