I'm trying to monitor a couple of services on a Windows box that polls via SNMP using "Service Status - SNMP" component monitors, which is kind of my go-to component monitor. Most of the services test fine, but there are a couple, where the vendor felt it necessary to add
in the display name. Testing the component monitor for these services reports that the service is not found.
I can monitor these services successfully via WMI, as the underlying service name doesn't have any special characters, but this is a physical Dell server, and if forced to choose between knowing when I've got a dead disk or knowing whether this service is up, I choose disk.
Anyone seen this issue previously or have a recommendation on a workaround?
