Then the short answer is no? I cannot monitor a particular Windows Service to see if it is in a started state or not? I am particularly interested in Cold Fusion Application Service, but an example of monitoring the state of any Windows service would suffice.
To clarify, I am not interested in montoring a port, or cpu/memory level. I wish to monitor the availability of a particular service. If a nagios plug-in can accomplish this, I would be interested in learning how, as the documentation on that is incomplete at the moment as well. This isn't criticism by the way, I am enjoying the product, I am just trying to get to the next level of my monitoring - it seems some people have gotten to this point and I am trying to figure out how to get there myself. >>> On Wed, Sep 6, 2006 at 2:32 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > zenwin uses WMI to collect information, which is helpful if you can't > install snmp- informant on all your windows machines. > > However, you can get a lot of information for windows machines without > using zenwin, especially if you have snmp- informant installed. > > You can monitor processes related to your services (memory, cpu, count). > > You can monitor ports that accept connections (80, 8080, etc). > > There are nagios pluggins for checking availability at the application > level, like SMTP, HTTP. > > I just heard: documentation person starts Friday.
