I have an application on a Microsoft Windows server that can get a bit flaky and is dependent on a service. If the service is restarted on a nightly basis, the application runs fine during the day. The application itself does NOT crash it just seems to misbehave.
What I'm trying to accomplish is the restart of the service at sometime during the night. Since the application doesn't crash, how can I schedule the restart of this one service without an an event. Is this supported with Alerts without an actual trigger condition? I thought about just writing a quick PowerShell script and run it within the affected servers as a scheduled task but I'd like not to have scripts running all over the place and instead have SolarWinds NMP continue to be my central location of managing services, alerts, etc...
The third party application is not something I can change and I'm not aware of any updates or workarounds for it.
