HP Operations Manager for Windows

Add a Windows service to monitor


Use the Add New Services dialog box to specify which Windows services you want to monitor with the policy you are creating. If you know the name of the node where the Windows service you want to monitor is running, you can type it directly into the Node box. If you do not know the name of the node, click the [...] button to browse a list of known nodes. After you have selected the node, click Refresh to display a list of the Windows services running on the selected node.

Note NOTE
The policy editor attempts to connect to the node you type into the Node box as the Windows user who started the console. If this user is not allowed to access service information on the specified node, an error message appears.

To add a new Windows service to monitor

  1. Select Services in the Monitoring drop-down menu in the Policy dialog.
  2. If you know the name of the Windows service you want to add:
    1. Click New.
    2. Type the details of the Windows service to monitor.
    3. Click OK.
  3. If you do not know the name of the Windows service:
    1. Click Browse to select from a list of available Windows services on the specified node.
    2. Type the name of the node in the Node box or click the [...] button to browse a list of nodes. The list of nodes is retrieved from the HP Operations database and does not indicate that a connection to the individual nodes in the list has been successful.
    3. Click Refresh.

      Note NOTE
      If the policy editor cannot connect to the selected node to retrieve a list of Windows services, it displays an error message or asks you for more information.

    4. Select the Windows service that you want to monitor.
    5. Click OK if you do not want to add any more Windows services, or click Apply if you want to continue adding Windows services to the monitor policy.
