The WinSvcStatusTest discovers all the automatic services on a host, reports their status, and automatically starts the the services that have stopped. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the WinSvcStatusTest.

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

• In the RESTARTATTEMPTS text box, specify the maximum number of times the eG system should try to restart an automatic service that has stopped. If attempts made to start the automatic service continue to fail beyond this prescribed limit, then eG will not perform any further restart attempts.

• In the REDISCOVER text box, specify the number of times the test is to be executed before the eG Enterprise system runs a new discovery for services.

• If the automatic services stop, then eG can be configured to automatically restart the services by setting RESTART to true. To disable auto-restart, specify false.

• After a restart attempt, the eG agent will wait for a while and then verify whether the service has successfully restarted or not. In the RESTARTCHECKPERIOD text box, specify this waiting period.

• Some automatic services - for example, services that cannot be restarted automatically - can be excluded from monitoring by providing the service names in the EXCLUDESVCS text box, as a comma-separated list.

• Once the above value is provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.
