Service Control Manager API/SWQL

kashifflavio

Hello,

I am using SWQL to query data form solar winds but now struggling to fetch information about services which are shown in the Service Control manager. Is there any workaround to how to send api request to service control manager?

1. The End goal is to get the status of all the services which are running on a node.
2. Good to have if we can start and stop the service but without explicitly adding the service in the monitor. If we add the service in the monitor then obviously we can manage it but we need to fetch the services and status of the service running on a nodes.
3. We are working on a patching solution, we need to find a way to get the status of the services after server is back from a reboot. We need to make sure all the serivces which are auto start are in running state. And unfortunately we can not add all the services in the monitor because we have too many nodes and too many serives.

would appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks

I would use a Powershell monitor that checks if all services on Automatic are running. You also need an exclusion list for services that are on automatic but stopped by default. There is a SAM  template in the forum somewhere if I remember correctly.
