Add A Custom Windows Service Check

[Betajake]

Hello!
Is it possible to setup a custom service check? I had a department request a specific utility service on a windows 2012 server be added to alerts. Here's what I've done so far:

- Setup a New template call Utility Alert
- Assigned template to Windows server
- Added only the specific server under Hosts/templates
-- No linked Templates
-Created an Item called Utility service is running
--Simple Check
--Key: service_state[Utility]
-Created Trigger
--{Utility Check:service_state[Utility].max(3)}=0
--No trigger dependencies

When I go to check the Trigger under the host (configuration of triggers), it gives me a red x for the trigger and an error: ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Zabbix Ver. 2.2

Thank you,

-Jake

HI,

i would do it like this:

create new template e.g. Service_DNS_CLIENT

add new item into template:
Name:is some name(DNS_CLIENT_SERVICE)
type=zabbix agent
key:service_state[<exact name of service like you see it in services.msc]
type of inf. Numeric
Data type=deciaml
units:none

create trigger name it and add condition:
service_state[DNS_CLIENT_SERVICE].last(0)}<>0

so simply when it's running value which zabbix agent recieves is 0. When is not running then it is something else. (check documentation of zabbix)

Hope helps!


save it and add it to some windows server.

Add Custom Service Check

Thanks so much, your recommendations worked. The only piece I had to change was for the trigger, the command ended with #0 instead of <>0 . It may be due to the version I'm using.

Thanks again!

Hi All,

How to setup alarm to rise up if Windows service is unavailable for, example 5 minutes?
I tired but unsuccessfully.

service_state[DNS_CLIENT_SERVICE].xxxxx ?
