[Xymon] Windows service monitoring

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi all,

 

We are monitoring various Windows services using BBWin 0.12 in central
mode reporting to a Xymon 4.3.4 server.

 

In the analysis.cfg file for a number of servers we have the following
type of entry,

 

SVC SQLSERVERAGENT status=started startup=automatic

 

As far as I can see from the analysis.cfg help that is exactly the
correct format, however when this flags red, we get the following
message,

 

SQLSERVERAGENT is started/automatic - want started/automatic

 

When I look down the list of processes SQLSERVERAGENT is clearly shown
as stopped,

 

SQLSERVERAGENT                      automatic    stopped
SQLSERVERAGENT

 

Does anyone have any idea why the message is incorrect and if there is a
way to fix it?

 

Regards,
