Monitoring service is not auto startup - Non Grail / Managed

[AntonPineiro]

Hi,

Can we create an alert if a specific service is not enabled/auto-start? It means, configured to auto start up when machine is rebooted?

We are using a non-Grail enabled tenant. It means, as Managed.

Thank you!

Best regards

Hey @AntonPineiro,

Are you refereeing to OS services? If so, that is pretty easy to configure. Here is a link to the documentation:

Hi,

Yes, but I am not talking is service is running, it is if service is not in auto-start mode.

I think this is possible via DQL as this information seems to be available under the "startup_type" field:

fetch `dt.entity.os:service`
| fieldsAdd startup_type, lifetime
| filter startup_type == "enabled-runtime"

I think you can probably make a workflow to alert on this or make the data into a timeseries and use the Davis AI Analyzer to create an alert.

Thank you!

Let me modify first message, Grail is not enabled. It means, can be done without Grail + DQL?

Best regards
