Is there any way to monitor Net Service names using a wildcard - in other words, monitor multiple different similar named service?
Specifically, I'm trying to monitor SQL Server agent on multiple machines. For servers we have with different instances, one SQL Agent name may be SQLAgent$Instance1, another may be SQLAgent$Instance2, etc. For non-named instances, the agent will run as SQLServerAgent. I can create a monitor for each of those individually for named instances but it seems to defeat the purpose.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
