Don,

It would help if you could post the relevant sections of your
analysis.cfg file as well as the section of the client report.

Hi David. Thanks for the information.  I checked the webpage and it's
running 4.3.7

Now, I am also getting similar port errors on the same server that
appear to be false alarms.  I setup a port 1433 (SQL) monitor and it's
also telling me that isn't listening, but I see a port 1433 listens or
connections.

Subject: Re: [Xymon] Xymon Service alert not showing proper status for
stopped service - windows

Don,
Hi folks. I just received this alert and am trying to figure out why
it's showing this way.

It's alerting on a service on a windows sql box - the service that
looks stopped is 
SQLSERVERAGENT automatic stopped SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)

but the alert text shows &red SQLSERVERAGENT is started/automatic -
want started/automatic

Is this a time delay, or is there something I'm missing that's
causing the disconnect ?

Will Xymon try to restart this service or do we manually code
something to do that?
My goal is to setup specific MYSQL and MS SQL server monitoring on a
DB page, but I hope to get a better understanding of how to watch and
validate these items.
What version are you running? This was definitely an issue with 4.2.0
and fixed in 4.3.x

David.
Thanks

Don K
