Creating action plan for auto start stopped services

[Sainyam]

Hi Support,

I would like to create an auto start service plan, if any service stopped event occurs, then host monitor agent start that.

Basically i am monitoring few Exchange Services and SQL services, I would like to create a action plan if host monitor detect service in stop state, then it should auto restart it.

I tried to create a action for that, but it looks I have to create action plan for each service and each agent separately.

Single action is enough - just use variable instead of static service name (e.g. %Reply% or %ServiceName% if you are using Service test method).
Please check the manual

What test method do you plan to use?
- Service test method? Then you need separate test item for each service.
- WMI test? Then you may use single test item and query like
Select name from Win32_Service where (started="False") and (StartMode="Auto")
- custom made shell script?

HI Alex,

Thanks for the reply.
Currently i am using separate test for each service as of now.

I am using this action plan, so that whenever this service stop i get alert.
This plan is common for all services test.

But now i want along with getting alerts, HM start the service as well.

If it require to create a WMIC query for service test I am ok for this. But I still not understand how I can create global action plan to start the service whenever any service test failed..

Your screenshot shows several NT Event log tests, two Service tests, 3 Drive Space and one Ping test.
I assume we are talking about Service test now?

1. For all "Service" tests, you may assign single action (Start service or Restart service action) and specify the following action settings:
Restart Service on: %ServiceComp%
Service name: %ServiceName%
HostMonitor will resolve these variables according to Service test that has triggered the action.

2. If you will use WMI test, you can't use %ServiceComp% and %ServiceName% variables for the action.
You need to use some variables that can be resolved by WMI test.
E.g.
WMI test with WQL query:
Select name from Win32_Service where (started="False") and (StartMode="Auto")

Restart action profile settings can be the following:
Restart Service on: \\%HostAddr%
Service name: %Reply%
