Monitoring all Windows services set to automatic start

[erikl]

I want to monitor all Windows services set to automatic start, with the ability to exclude some services.
The Item looks like this:
Type: Zabbix agent
Key: services[automatic, stopped, "service1,service2,service3"]
Type of information: Numeric (unsigned)

The Trigger looks like this:
{Template OS Windows:services[automatic, stopped, "service1,service2,service3"].last()}>0

Obviously something is wrong here and I've tested a few things but can't get it to work.

The monitoring part seem to work since Zabbix can see when a service is down, but I get the error message in the Configuration --> Hosts --> [hostname] --> Triggers page that says:
Cannot evaluate expression: expected numeric token at "MapsBroker
RemoteRegistry
Spooler
sppsvc
WbioSrvc)>0".

See complete Item and Trigger config in attached pictures

No one?

Let me rephrase... How would you do to monitor all services set to automatic start (with the ability to exclude specific services) and get notifications when a service is not running?

Hi Erikl,

Did you solve this? I'm looking for something similar.

Hi,

which Zabbix Version are you using? I've updated from 4.0 to 4.4 and it discovered all the automatic and delayed services on its own, I just had to disable the triggers I didnt need. It's mostly Windows Server 2016 Servers and a couple of 2012R2s. I'm using the Templates Zabbix Agent, OS Windows Server Baseline (from the downloadable templates site from Zabbix) and VMWare Guest. I hope this helps!

Hi,

Yes I saw that later when adding the Zabbix Agent. Thanks for the feedback!
