Hi,

Are you talking about OS Services running in hosts? Services discoved by Dynatrace? Can you clarify or some screenshot about "application services running"?

Best regards

@AntonPineiro Thanks for your reply
services are application services and not os services
for example, I See the below service running for the command ps -eaf | grep -i FileBasedTransfer in the server

s_tibco 4304 1 0 Aug24 ? 01:37:03 /apps/tibco/soa/tibco/bw/5.13/bin/ --pid --run --propFile /apps/tibco/soa/config/domain/tra/application/FileBasedTransfer/FileBasedTransfer-FileBasedTransfer-01.tra --innerProcess

How to add this service status in dynatrace dashboard?

Yes – you can achieve this using Custom Process Group Detection and Custom Process Monitoring Rules in Dynatrace.

Go to Settings → Processes and containers → Custom process monitoring rules

Create a new rule and set it to monitor the process if the condition is met.

Use a condition that matches your service (for example: Command line contains "FileBasedTransfer").

(Optional) Define a Process Group Detection Rule to give the process group a clear name like TIBCO FileBasedTransfer.

Enable Process Group Availability alerting for this process group.

Finally, add a custom chart to your dashboard with the metric Process group availability filtered by this process group.

This way, Dynatrace will monitor the service as a process group and you will be able to see its up/down status directly on a dashboard.

Hi,

You are welcome. Ok, you are talking about process monitoring. If you go to process section in that host, in Dynatrace, do you see that process in process list?
