Many software applications that run on Windows NT, 2000 or above run as windows services, running as background processes with no direct user interface and no logged-on user (e.g. as a server). They are typically started automatically and therefore are expected to stay running. If any of these important services should fail, many users and external services are immediately affected and so ensuring that these services are running continuously is a key requirement for most system administrators.
OpManager's Windows service monitoring software allows you to monitor windows services either locally or across multiple servers on the network. OpManager supports monitoring Windows services via WMI, and does not require an agent to be installed on each remote machine.
When a monitored service fails, OpManager's windows service monitoring tool can perform one of the following actions automatically
In additon to monitoring system level services like HTTP, LDAP, SMTP etc, OpManager's windows service monitor supports monitoring of the following Windows Services by default.
OpManager's windows services monitor monitors availability and response-time for the following services
| Alerter | FTP | Net Logon |
| DHCP Server | IAS | Print Spooler |
| DNS Server | IIS | RPC |
| Disk Manager | Messenger | Telephony |
| Event Log | MySQL | Telnet |
