Windows Service Monitoring

You can configure MetricsHub to monitor a Windows service. In the example below, we configured MetricsHub to monitor the httpd service running on the prod-win-web resource using WMI.

Procedure

To achieve this use case, we:

  • Declare the resource to be monitored (prod-win-web)​ and its attributes (host.name, host.type)​
    resources:
      prod-win-web:
        attributes:
          host.name: prod-win-web
          host.type: windows
  • Configure the WMI protocol with credentials and timeout​
        protocols:
          wmi:
            username: <username>
            password: <password>
            timeout: 30
  • Add an additional connector (WindowsServiceHttpd) using the WindowsService module​
        additionalConnectors:
          WindowsServiceHttpd:
            uses: WindowsService
  • Set the variable serviceNames to specify the service to be monitored (httpd).
            variables:
                serviceNames: httpd

Here is the complete YAML configuration:

    resources:
      prod-win-web:
        attributes:
          host.name: prod-win-web
          host.type: windows
        protocols:
          wmi:
            username: <username>
            password: <password>
            timeout: 30
        additionalConnectors:
          WindowsServiceHttpd:
            uses: WindowsService
            variables:
                serviceNames: httpd
