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

Hi folks . I wanted to provide an update on the question I had about port monitoring for SQL servers. I went into the analysis.cfg file and change the entry as follows:
It was: PORT STATE=LISTENING LOCAL=1433 MIN=1 Test=SQLServer
I changed it to:
PORT STATE=LISTENING LOCAL=%[.:](1433)$ MIN=1 TEXT=SQLServer Listener
and it seems to be working now for the 1433 port.
Maybe I had the "LOCAL=1433" syntax wrong for the analysis.
The "Test=SQLServer" was probably the wrong syntax as well – as the "TEXT=SQLServer Listener" is doing what I wanted it to do which is report "SQLServer Listener" in the web page reports.
If I am missing something please let me know, otherwise, I believe this will do the job. So I'm off to learn more xymon stuff :)
Thanks for the support!

Don,
It would help if you could post the relevant sections of your analysis.cfg file as well as the section of the client report.
David.
Hi David. Thanks for the information. I checked the webpage and it's running 4.3.7
Now, I am also getting similar port errors on the same server that appear to be false alarms. I setup a port 1433 (SQL) monitor and it's also telling me that isn't listening, but I see a port 1433 listens or connections.

Don,
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.
What version are you running? This was definitely an issue with 4.2.0 and fixed in 4.3.x
David.
Thanks
Don K
