Service monitors measure the running state of a Windows service. There is no configuration required other than the name of the service. This is a two state monitor with the monitor sets the monitor to a healthy state if the service is running and a critical state if the service is not running. The monitor can be configured to check the startup type of the service. This ensures that the service is only monitored if its startup type is set to automatic.
