If you are setting up a policy to monitor Windows services for the first time, the initial dialog box is empty. You will need to specify which Windows services that you want to monitor, how you want the monitoring to take place, and, by means of the global polling interval, how often the policy should check the monitored services.
The following actions are available to you:
Opens the Add New Service dialog box and by default displays a list of Windows services for the localhost. Use this option if you are not sure of the details of the Windows services that you want to monitor (for example, the service names or the name of the managed node where the services are running).
Opens the Services Properties dialog box and allows you to add a new Windows-service to the policy. Use this option if you already know all the details of the Windows services that you want to monitor but cannot the node where the Windows services are running.
Opens the Services Properties dialog box and allows you to check or modify an existing monitor for a Windows-service.
Opens the Services Properties dialog box and allows you to copy an existing monitor for a Windows-service. Use this option if you want to re-use conditions or actions, which you have already defined in an existing monitor for a Windows service.
Deletes the selected Windows services from the policy after a prompt for confirmation of the requested action.
Opens the Defaults dialog box, where you can define the default actions to perform when a message is generated as a result of a broken threshold or a matched condition.
Policy Management Policies grouped by type Process/Service Monitoring.
The policy editor opens.
