Service Monitor Settings
Overview
The Service Monitor Settings is a pre-loaded repository of all the well-known services present in a server (virtual or bare-metal). This feature allows you to monitor services and rediscover applications easily. When you discover a server, ObserveOps checks if any of the services present in this list are running on the server, and if so, these services are provisioned as monitors.
The pre-loaded list covers most of the well-known services you need to monitor, making it a comprehensive and efficient solution. However, you can add any specific services that you want to monitor, giving you complete control over the monitoring process. Once you add a service to the list, you can start monitoring it by executing a rediscovery run.
The list of services and processes also helps you rediscover applications. This is a crucial aspect of the monitoring process, as it ensures that you can easily detect and monitor instances within a monitor.
To rediscover an application present on a Windows server, the corresponding process and service should be available in the Process Monitor Settings and Service Monitor Settings, respectively. If they are not already present, you can create a new record for these processes and services and then execute a rediscovery run to monitor the application.
To rediscover an application present on a Linux server, the corresponding service should be available in the Service Monitor Settings. If it is not already present, you can create a new record for these services and then execute a rediscovery run to monitor the application.
Service Monitoring lets you track your services and applications and keep your infrastructure running as expected. See Monitor Rediscovery for details on how to add new services after a device is provisioned.
