Notification if a Service is not running

[bslater]

Is it possible to setup a notification if a NT Service is not running after a period of time?

[Marius]

It is, you can set a notification when a process has stopped after x minutes.

Will that also be triggered if a process never starts when the server starts?

[Marius]

This is actually a very good question - at the moment "has stopped" assumes that is was running before - we will add the notification when the process never actually started.

The scenario that I am looking at is where an Exchange Server starts, and being notified if any of the services do not start - whilst this can be done via Event Log there is a dependency issue with PC Monitor having started before anything else.

Ideally if there was a notification that allow you to choose 1 or more services to monitor, and if they were not running for a specified time a notification would be send. Somthing like

IF [MSExchangeTransport OR EdgeTransport] NOT RUNNING AND [ElapsedTime = 600]

SEND NOTIFICATION

We will build this value condition (if service running | not running) in the Rules.

This is now supported in version 2.7 beta 2 - you can download it from this forum. There is now a value condition for the service state.

Can this be done for processes as well? (like notepad.exe)
