    Proper way to monitor Windows service/application?

    Thanks for your time first of all.

    I cloned the windows item for DHCP since it was a service item.
    I am using it as a template to monitor a program set to run at boot called Network Authority (Arcsight).

    It looks like I am getting a monitor/check, but I am trying to get the trigger to respond/email me if Network Authority is NOT running.

    Here is what I have set. Is anything wrong with this? I feel that its in the trigger, but not sure.

    As for the Process in services.msc

    Service name: NetworkAuthority
    Path to Executable: D:\DeviceAuthority\bin\NetworkAuthority.exe
    Set to start Automatically


    and the item

    Description: Service State of Arcsight client
    Key: service_state[NetworkAuthority]
    Type: numeric
    Data type: Decimal
    Update interval: 30sec
    Status: active


    and the trigger

    Name: Arcsight not running on {HOSTNAME}
    expression: {ny-it10.jmm.com:service_state[NetworkAuthority].last(0)}<1
    Sevirity: Disaster
