Yep - Brian's solution is a good simple one for a bunch of service templates with similar service names.
I documented my method in contrast here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2011/01/20/how-to-monitor-a-service-with-unique-names-across-multiple-computers-using-a-wildcard.aspx From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thompson, Joseph W (Joe) Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 12:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [msmom] Better Way ? If the services have a consistent naming standard, I've been successful using this. http://blogs.technet.com/b/brianwren/archive/2008/03/07/using-wildcards-with-the-windows-service-template.aspx If they do not have a similar name, but installed in the same directory, you can wildcard the PathName property instead of Name From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dinh, Khoi Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 11:01 AM To: MyITForum ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) Subject: [msmom] Better Way ? Sorry team for not so smart question as usual... We have a few servers to monitor its Windows Services, each server 1 special app may have up to 12 different services... I add Monitoring Wizard in Windows Service but can only select 1 service at a time, so I would have to manually create it 12 times, then create 12 different Unit Monitors and I think I can create 1 Alert Subscription for these 12 unit monitors, that is just 1 server alone, there should be a better way to do this ?? Got to be me as usual, thanks in advance. ________________________________ *** Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including any associated or attached files, is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
