What is a Windows Service?
In Microsoft Windows server environments, a service is a program that runs in the background, similar to Unix daemons. These services perform various tasks and functions essential to the operation of the server.
Windows services can be self-tuning, but they can also be configured and managed manually through the Windows Control Panel Service. Regular Server SNMP Service monitoring and management can help ensure the smooth operation of the server and prevent potential issues.
How to monitor Windows Services with SNMP?
ServicePilot makes it very easy to monitor Windows Services with SNMP. Simply configure the SNMP interface of the Windows machine. Then use the ServicePilot web interface to add a resource from the ServicePilot server-service-snmp package.
