What I'm wondering is how do you configure the ntservices probe so that it throws an alarm when it tries to restart a service that it was monitoring and was detected as stopped? We want to be notified when it does a restart of a service.
ATM, we are monitoring all services on a box that are set to Automatic and if any are detected Stopped, we want it to try restarting the service one time. If it can't start the service then throw the "Service not running alert." an alert.
But we were wondering if the probe goes into a constant restart loop, service stops, probe restarts, service stops, probe restarts it, is this condition captured? If so how? What needs to be set in the probe to capture stop/restart/stop/restart loops?
