Monitor Windows service if installed

Thanks but how to make it go only if it is installed *and* not running?

Colin,
  An example from what I use to monitor that the Xymon Powershell
Client service is running, I have this in the server/etc/analysis.cfg
file:

# Windows Powershell client - WinPSClient
CLASS=powershell
        SVC     XymonPSClient startup=automatic status=%(start|started)

If the XymonPSClient service is not running or is not configured to
automatically start, then the alert for the service will be red.  If
the service is not installed, it likewise will go red.

Thanks Zak but not quote what I was looking for.

A service installed on approx half our Windows VDI nodes randomly
stops.  I want the 'svcs' to go red if:
- the service is installed; and
- the service is not running.

Any ideas?

Hi

You need to use the svc directive in analysis.cfg. You can alert on
whether the service is started or stopped, and the startup setting. This
should work with both the BBWIN client and the Powershell client.


Cheers

Hey all


Is there a way to alert if a particular Windows service is installed
but not running?


Thanks
