Hi Colin,
I use BBWin for this.
If the service isn't installed it is ignored but if it does exist it must be running or it will go red.

Thanks Zak but not quote what I was looking for.
A service installed on approx half our Windows VDI nodes randomly stops. I want the 'svcs' to go red if:
- the service is installed; and
- the service is not running.
Any ideas?

Hi
https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/analysis.cfg.5.html
You need to use the svc directive in analysis.cfg. You can alert on whether the service is started or stopped, and the startup setting. This should work with both the BBWIN client and the Powershell client.
Cheers
Zak

Hey all
Is there a way to alert if a particular Windows service is installed but not running?
Thanks
