OP5 Monitor - How can I monitor all Microsoft Windows services?

Question

How can I monitor all Microsoft Windows services that are in automatic mode?

Answer

Use the check command "check_nrpe_win_services" but instead of entering the service that you would like to monitor as an argument use "CheckAll".

This will check all services that are in automatic mode, however by default there are some services that are in automatic mode but not started, these will make the check fail. To exclude these, add an exclude to the check command argument. For example, if we would like to check all services that are in automatic mode and exclude the "Remote Registry" service, we use this check command argument:  CheckAll exclude=RemoteRegistry
