Checking for service state

[jfha73]

Hey guys,

Can somebody tell me if I have this OK:

I configure an item to check for this:

service.info[[I]serviceName[/I],state]

Where serviceName is the name of the service.

According to the help that should give me:

Specifically for state: 0 - running, 1 - paused, 2 - start pending, 3 - pause pending, 4 - continue pending, 5 - stop pending, 6 - stopped, 7 - unknown, 255 - no such service; Specifically for startup: 0 - automatic, 1 - automatic delayed, 2 - manual, 3 - disabled, 4 - unknown

So I created a Trigger when that Item is >0 to send me a warning.

Did I do it correctly?

Thanks

Hi,
the trigger expression should look something like this: {Hostname:service.info[service].last()}<>0 Where "Hostname" is the name of your host and "service" is the name of the service which you want to monitor.

I think I did something wrong, because I created that over an hour ago and I still don't see any data for it.

Also I forgot to say that I created a Template just for it because it's just for a few servers, added an Application to it and then I created the Item for the Application.

I added the Template to the Servers I want to check, but I'm not getting any data from it, so please can somebody tell me where I made the mistake?

Thanks

I got it, I saw that service.info was ONLY for Windows machines and this was a Linux one, so I changed it for proc.num[serviceName] and it's working.
