This guy saved my life: How To Monitor Windows Services with ZABBIX ( Correct Way )

The problem has been resolved - here is a Step by Step guide:

1. Data collection > Templates > Search the name "Windows" > All Windows Templates should be listed >

- Template OS Windows
- Windows by Zabbix agent (7.0-0)
- Windows by Zabbix agent active (7.0-0)

2. In the discovery rules on all 3 templates shown above if you have more then please adjust them also > Windows services discovery > Discovery rule > Change the following values >

- *Update interval -> 1h (if you're testing set to 1s or 1m)
- *Delete lost resources > from 30d to immediately

REMEMBER TO DO CHANGE IT FOR ALL THE 3 TEMPLATES

3. Go to Administration > Regular expressions (remember this is global settings) > Windows service names for discovery > add all you're necessary expressions so that it will be excluded in the dashboard >

For ex.
Result is FALSE : ^(TrustedInstaller*)$
Result is FALSE : ^sppvc
Result Is FALSE : ^RemoteRegistry
Result is FALSE : ^(GoogleUpdateInternalService.*)$
Result is FALSE : ^(GoogleUpdaterService.*|WSearch|DoSvc)$
