Hi all,

I'm trying to monitor the Windows Internal Database service. The Service Name is the following: MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID

However, thanks to the ## it shows all the characters that follow as comment so I added this line with regex to my analysis.cfg SVC ^MSSQL\$MICROSOFT##WID status=started

This gives following (wrong) output on my webpage: ^MSSQL\$MICROSOFT: No matching service - want started/Any

Is there a way I can monitor this particular service?

I have the following working fine:

    SVC "MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" startup=automatic status=started

David.
