[WhatsUp Forum] NT service check and restarting

[bruce . webber]

Good afternoon all....

I'm just starting to play around with monitoring some NT services on some of my servers.  During my testing I notice that I can create a new NT service monitor, successfully test this and when I have the  restart on failure" checkbox checked it will re-start the NT service, this all works as expected, except that what I expected to happen was also to have a log entry in my logs that stated that the service was down and was successfully re-started.  When I do a debug on the test, this does happen, but during regular polling it doesn't happen.... is there a way to log this activity?  It certainly wold be nice to know that they service failed and was retarted by WUG, especially to correlate any problems back to the fact that the service was down.

Thanks
