The availability of some applications depends on several services - sometimes half a dozen or so - being active on a machine. Instead of defining separate tests for each service, it would be helpful to be able to specify several services in one single test, return OK if all are active, and the list (or number) of the inactive ones in the Reply field and/or in a log file.

The same idea could be useful for other types of tests, for example "Process".

Or is this already possible (without a script, of course)?

Regards

No, its not possible. Probably we can add "check necessary parent services" option for existent Service test method

Yes, could be useful. But if "parent services" means "dependencies" in the Windows terminology, and not some other arbitrary services, it won't be exactly what I had in mind; the services I need to check are not "dependent" from one another.

Yes, grouped test would be an enormous simplification. The output could be put the Result field or in a log file.

Anyway, thank you very much for considering this idea and ... looking forward for its implementation

No, but it's simple enough to write a script to do what you are looking for. I have in-house apps that are dependant on multiple services, which I test for using a VBScript/WMI query.
The beauty of extesibility! That's why I love this product so much.

Tthanks for all the latest features & fixes!
