Re: How to monitor a stopped service?
Fodome Dec 29, 2009 2:26 PM (in response to chaldz)Hey chaldz,
Originally I was going to say that this would be possible using a Custom SNMP Monitor, however, it turns out that if a service is not running, it simply does not exist in the OID branch. As a result, the Monitor would fail automatically.
The other option would be to simply monitor the process and if it is running, cause the Monitor to fail. You can use the script found at the following location, however, set the Monitor to expect a 1 instead of a 0:
Monitoring the Existence of a Specific Process on a Remote Machine Running Windows 2000/XP/2003
Hopefully this gets you close to what you need.
