services[<type>,<state>,<exclude>]

[753713]

Hi,

I will monitor win-services with services[<type>,<state>,<exclude>].
This Item running, but I have a question:

we can I create a action with the servicename this is crashed or stopt on my server. In the output list I have only list with all services (running, stop ....).
I will create a trigger/action with the difference between two items querys, and send mail with only the service this is crashed/stopt.

Thanks
Christian

Hello,

You might want to read the services[] documentation. I believe there's a way to list the services that are Automatic but Stopped. That might give you a hint on what services stopped unexpectedly.

1 .services with the startup option "manuall" the after start through another service be started, can I so not monitor
2. I will only see this stopt services (after crash), not all stopt proceses

Hi,

True, Zabbix has limitations regarding that.

Why don't you monitor the Event Viewer events on your Windows servers and filter services crashes? That's an option. Not as specific as the one you are looking for but might show you errors on logs.

The problem would be executing actions upon those triggers were fired...

here my solution:
1. configure $conf_ini = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zabbix Agent" in the .au3 file
2. compile this file with autoit
3. add in zabbix_agentd.conf this lineUserParameter=win.service,"C:\Program Files (x86)\Zabbix Agent\ZBX_SERVICE.exe"
4.create new item:
-Type: Zabbix Agent
-Key: win.service[win.service]
-Type of information: Text

you can add excludes to the exclude.conf, when you will not monitor all services.

Nice one dude

The AutoIt executable requires that AutoIt is installed on the remote box, isn't it?

no, after compile can you copy the exe-file to another pc
