Hi all,

I'm trying to monitor the Windows Internal Database service. The Service
Name is the following:
MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID

However, thanks to the ## it shows all the characters that follow as
comment so I added this line with regex to my analysis.cfg
SVC ^MSSQL\$MICROSOFT##WID status=started

This gives following (wrong) output on my webpage:
^MSSQL\$MICROSOFT: No matching service - want started/Any

Is there a way I can monitor this particular service?

Timothy,

Can you try SVC %^MSSQL\$MICROSOFT\#\#WID as well?


HTH,
