how to display status of application services running in the server in a dashboard?

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?

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?

Best regards

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.
