[Xymon] Xymon Service alert not showing proper status for stopped service - windows

[Don Kuhlman]

Hi folks. I just received this alert and am trying to figure out why it's showing this way.

It's alerting on a service on a windows sql box - the service that looks stopped is
SQLSERVERAGENT automatic stopped SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)

but the alert text shows &red SQLSERVERAGENT is started/automatic - want started/automatic

Is this a time delay, or is there something I'm missing that's causing the disconnect ?

Will Xymon try to restart this service or do we manually code something to do that?
My goal is to setup specific MYSQL and MS SQL server monitoring on a DB page, but I hope to get a better understanding of how to watch and validate these items.

Thanks

Don K
