Monitoring Windows Services with CheckMK Agent (exclude specific services)

General
1

I would like to monitor all Windows Services with the service start up setting autostart.

According to the explanation in the youtube (Episode 37: Monitoring Window's services with Checkmk - YouTube) series, you can use regular expressions to add all services.

I am wondering, how to exclude the services, that are as startup type “automatic triggered”, which are not running all the time.

These are services like RemoteRegistry, MapsBroker, Edgeupdate to name a few…

I found a thread to that topic, but i could not get it to work correctly…

like:

^(?!(RemoteRegistry)).*

^(?!(RemoteRegistry|MapsBroker)).*

Any help or example is very welcome…

If you are using the disabled services rule, the regex has to have the prefix “Service” to match the Windows service.
You can do a Service discovery, disable a service there and use the create “disable Services” rule as a starting point.

I’m sometimes using a big disabled services rule to disable all the Windows Services i am not interessiert in.
