Service Startup Type is demand

General

Hi there :slight_smile:

i’m trying to monitor some windows services, if they’re running, that are set to “manual”.
I always get a “CRIT” state when i discover them. I tried to set the “Check Startuptype” to manual but that didn’t change anything. How do i get checkMK to set them as “OK” as long as they’re running? :smiley:

Greetings.

The options for start_mode in check_mk.yml are:

  • auto - service starts with boot
  • demand - requires manual starting
  • delayed - service started automatically(delayed)
  • disabled - service cannot be started manually and should be enabled

I’m sorry if i don’t get it right.
So i have to configure it over the yml? And not the WATO?
I’m kinda confused right now

Hi,

you can configure the exact expected service state on the checkmk server side, no need to edit the agent.
The agent automatically provides all windows services with name, startup type and current state.

You can go to the displayed windows service, click the burger menu, Parameters for…, and then it is the second rule from the top.
There you can use the convenience Button " create rules for current Host and Service" where you can define the expected state.

Thank you! :slight_smile: that was what i was looking for.
