restart a service

FormerMember

I have an advanced alert setup within Orion to restart a service. I took the default:

Component Type is equal to 9

What does a component type of 9 mean?

Hi, Darkshooter. When you define an alert, you have to refer to the specific component monitor types by a number, and 9 is the component type number of "Windows Service Monitor".

The complete list of component type numbers is in the Admin Guide here:

Orion APM Alerts

If you want to read a bit more about how that advanced alert actually restarts the service, that's in the admin guide also, here:
