PowerShell Script to start down service

rmullal over 4 years ago

i have created an application template to monitor 6 windows services on ~1600 VMs. If one of these services goes down, we get a Slack message alerting us the service is down. Instead of manually starting the service through Orion every time, i would like for this service to automatically try to start itself.

I think there is an APM out of the box trigger action to start a service, but we do not have APM. These are our current modules: Orion Platform 2018.4 HF3, WPM 2.2.3, IPAM 4.8.1 HF1, NCM 7.9, NPM 12.4, SAM 6.8.0, NetPath 1.1.4

I was wondering if its possible to create a powershell script to start the down service, but i'm having trouble coming up with a way to implement this.

Let's say ServiceX on VM123 stops and we get our Slack alert. How would i tell Powershell to specifically start that ServiceX on VM123? i'm sure there's a variable somewhere for that, but i haven't had luck finding it.

Here is my trigger condition for the alert:
