Ok guys... like you I was having the same problems. It looks like we just missed a step.
For the sake of this post I'm monitoring a service called NetworkVantageProbe. After getting WMI working, I was able to add the Winservice just fine. I set the "Accept Pause" and "Accept Stop" settings to false. In other words, I just wanted it know it was down. When I would stop the service, the zenwin.log would show that it stopped but like you, it would stay green and look like it was up. Code: 2008-01-28 12:02:19 INFO zen.zenwin: IEW-BACCP18: NetworkVantageProbe running 2008-01-28 12:04:19 WARNING zen.zenwin: IEW-BACCP18: NetworkVantageProbe stopped What I did then was check the service itself in /Services/WinService/NetworkVantageProbe. Right there it it tells you that monitor is set to "false". I went into zProperties of the service and set the zMonitor setting to "true", saved changes, and then restarted zenoss. After the restart the zenwin.log started looking like below. Code: 2008-01-28 12:56:42 WARNING zen.zenwin: IEW-BACCP18: NetworkVantageProbe stopped 2008-01-28 12:56:42 CRITICAL zen.zenwin: Windows Service 'NetworkVantageProbe' is down 2008-01-28 12:56:42 INFO zen.zenwin: svc down IEW-BACCP18, NetworkVantageProbe 2008-01-28 12:59:31 INFO zen.zenwin: IEW-BACCP18: NetworkVantageProbe running 2008-01-28 12:59:31 INFO zen.zenwin: Windows Service 'NetworkVantageProbe' is up 2008-01-28 12:59:31 INFO zen.zenwin: svc up IEW-BACCP18, NetworkVantageProbe You can tell by the log that the service is now being reported as Critical down and now it alerts accordingly. Hope this works for you as well as it did for me. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=15852#15852 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
