Monitoring Services with MOM
Goto the MOM Home Page
 
I am trying too monitor services using MOM SP1. I have setup a computer group and a rules processing group. How do I now go about setting up a rule to monitor the status of a service and alert me if it stops or hangs?

How do you want to monitor the services?  Do you want to monitor when services fail?  Or when it simply changes state?  Here's an example of setting a rule to use WMI Subscription to send you an alert when a service stops.

  1. Create an EPR to process an event, and click "New..." on the Provider Settings section.
     

  2. Choose "WMI Events", give this WMI Event Provider a name, use "root\cimv2" as your namespace, and your query should be follows:

--
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 30
    WHERE (TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Service')
    AND (TargetInstance.State = 'Stopped')
--

Leave the Property List blank and click OK.

  1. Finish up the rest of the wizard and make you have it generate an alert.

Now when any service changes to the Stopped state, you'll get a Alert for it.
