How to add specific windows services?

[walamad]

Could you please advise if there is any way to add specific windows services to the dashboard to view the status of the service if is it started or not or running or not?

Hi there,

If you are referring to the OS service monitoring, then you can use 'OS Service availability' 

builtin:host.osService.availability

metric to chart them and place on the dashboard. 

Thanks.

Hi there, I'm clearly missing something, as I cant see how to get from this screenshot, to what you have (what you have is exactly what I'm looking for)  I cant see how I get the dt.osservice.status to be the value I return, instead I just get OS Service Availability, which is always 6 (no idea what 6 means) regardless of the status.

builtin:osservice.availability:filter(and(or(in("dt.entity.host",entitySelector("type(host),tag(~"BT-GROUP-MESSAGING:Mailbox~")"))))):splitBy("dt.entity.host","dt.osservice.status","dt.osservice.display_name"):names:sort(dimension("dt.entity.host.name",descending))

I think I'm a bit lost........  any help would be appreciated
