thanks for the reply familyofcrowes, I created some 'APM Application' alert for the services that I want to monitor and it works like a charm,,, i will try use the method that you mentioned above cheers

Thanks again aLTeReGo, I will give it a go

Thanks aLTeReGo, it worked (with RPC) , but a new problem arose with Orion Web console , it will not let me expand the application monitors that I created to monitor the windows services (i clicked '+' in front the service monitor and it wouldnt expand), anyone seen anything similar before?

one last question: do I need to add a Component Monitor for each service I want to monitor? i.e if I want to monitor services: Alerter, DNS client, DHCP client and clipbook, does it mean I will have to create 4 component monitors?

Thanks for your reply, I didnt find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\PerfProc\Performance on the NT server.... Best Regards, Lu Wang (Roy) HLWP Control Systems Group B868.1 Upper Floor Sellafield Ltd Tel: 019467-87629 lu.wang@sellafieldsites.com "lukas.belza"…

cheers Fodome, much appreciated!

the two videos that I wanna check out are: 'kiwi syslog server' and 'network atlas connect now', the video link you posted above cant be played on my PC, probably because of the security setting on my PC (it is a company computer, so there are some security settings on it), but I think I ll check out those videos when I…
