Remote command - restart windows service

[louis-m]

Hi, I would like to restart a windows service if it has been down for x mins.

I know the custom script would be:

C:\Windows\System32\net start <servicename> in windows.
I'm wondering how I would get the zabbix trigger variable (service.name) into this?

eg a trigger is fired for "SessionEnv" service on windows not started and after 15 minutes, I want zabbix to issue the remote command "C:\Windows\System32\net start SessionEnv"
Obviously I want the trigger variable within that command so that this will work with any service.

Hello louis-m,
I would create a monitoring service that interests you:
Key: service_state[servicename]
Then I would create the corresponding trigger and then create an action, type Custom Script with the command net stop "servicename".
I would configure this action to launch only with the traggier that you have created and on the host that interests you.
I don't know if there's a simpler way.
I hope this will help you, and you understand me, my English is not very good.

Hi Sancho,
many thanks for the reply. I seem to be spreading this across 2 threads at the moment so I'll close this one down. I'm trying to achieve this with the minimal effort from a discovery trigger prototype as there are about 100 servers.
