Henrik, Thank you for the information. Excuse me if I'm not grasping the last sentence. When I create the monitor, it is for different services. So for this example it was 'Spooler', but each service name is different. I was hoping I could achieve the same functionality with the service name as I do with the hostname-I don't have to define the hostname in the Alert Description, the Parameter will replace it with the appropriate value. I'm trying to cut down on the hard-coding within the MPs because it requires more modifications when changes are made, and is not as efficient.
I was hoping I could do something like: Service '<Insert Paramter>' is not running on $Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$.This would allow me to copy monitors in Visual Studio and not have to go into each description and update it with the hard-coded service name. Is that possible with the way I'm authoring these monitors?

In your case, you've written 'spooler' as a parameter for the monitor. You could do the easy thing: Write 'spooler'(or anything else) as alert parameter.

I still lack a lot of the in-depth relational knowledge within SCOM. I am using TypeID="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.CheckNTServiceStateMonitorType" to target the service like this: <Configuration> <ComputerName>$Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$</ComputerName> <ServiceName>Spooler</ServiceName> <CheckStartupType>true</CheckStartupType> </Configuration> I'm not sure where to begin on the Alert Parameter. How could I fill in the <AlertParameter> for the service name? I know see the error of trying to use Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService, but I'm not sure how to go about targeting the Alert Parameter at the service name. Any relevant links or examples? I have tried looking online, but there isn't a lot of resources on the MP Authoring side of SCOM.

I have the server name working, but whatever I try for the service name results in blank output. Issue: I am authoring an unit monitor in Visual Studio using "Windows!Microsoft.Windows.CheckNTServiceStateMonitorType"). The alert parameter "$Target/Property[Type="Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService"]/DisplayName$" results in a blank output in the Alert Description. I created a service monitor in the SCOM console and exported that to XML in order to determine what Alert Parameter is being used-and it's the one listed above. However, when I am insert it into my MP, the Alert Parameter is blank in the Alert Description when the alert is generated.
