Monitoring Windows Service with Check_MK

I have to Monitoring Windows Service with Check_MK.

The in-house windows application run as a service on Windows Server.

Sometime it crashed without any notification, just need monitoring it by Check_MK.

1. Check the service name by cmk command:


Run it from the OMD check_mk box:
For my site:(mdsmonitor):




/omd/sites/mdsmonitor/bin/cmk -d [Windows Host need to be monitor] |grep [Crasher_service]




The output should be something like:




Crasher_service running/auto mds_in_house_service





2. Add service name into main.mk file:


add 1 line into /opt/omd/sites/mdsmonitor/etc/check_mk/main.mk



inventory_services = ['Crasher_service']




3. Restart OMD to adapt the changes:





su - mdsmonitor
omd restart




4. Re Scan the service on Host, add the new service from "Missing Services"
