Bruce,
What I usually do
is have two service monitors, one to check only and one that restarts. Having
them in alphabetical order is important. I’ll create a monitor called “aMySQL”
that does a check, then create one called MySQL that does a restart. This way
you get a log entry and a notification if you want.
HTH,

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] NT
service check and restarting
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
