For a configured service, this test reports whether that service is up and running or not. In addition, the test automatically determines the ID and name of the process that corresponds to the configured service, and measures the CPU and memory usage of that process and the I/O load imposed by the process. This test executes only on Windows hosts.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the WbWinServiceTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• Specify the exact name of the service to be monitored in the SERVICENAME text box. For e.g., to monitor the World Wide Web Publishing service, the SERVICENAME should be: W3SVC. If your service name embeds white spaces, then specify the service name within “double-quotes”.

• Once the necessary values have been entered, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.
