Is there a way with Cacti that you can monitor Windows services to see when a service stops that you can be notified?

You can do something like this. Note that I had created this on Cacti v0.8.6c but it seems to work fine while importing in v0.8.6g on my test machine. Just place the php file in the scripts folder, and import the template.
This will give you a list of all services running on a host, and from there you can select which services you want to monitor. Its then easy enough to set thresholds for the services to alert you.
EDIT: Temporarily removed attachment until I can properly fix it.

| I've written a script that lets you monitor any process running on a windows host. The link is in my signature.

I'm getting the following error when I run the data query for a Windows host:
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/opt/cacti/resource/script_server/win_services.xml'
+ Error parsing XML file into an array.
There currently isn't a file at the above location, should this be created after I import the template?
Thanks,
Kevin

That file was included in the Zip, you have to place it there (the directory structure should be layed out for you.) There is also a script that you have to put in the proper place.

blackakashi: Your import error is a setting in your php.ini file.
\WINNT\php.ini or wherever your is...
It has been a while since I had this error on Windows, so my memory is shaky, but one of these fixed that for me on Windows a while back:
error_reporting = e_error
session.bug_compat_warn = 0
safe_mode = off
magic_quotes_gpc = off
magic_quotes_runtime = off
magic_quotes_sybase = off
extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions"
extension=php_gd2.dll
One of the ones in bold if I am remembering correctly...

Service monitoring is pretty difficult without a specific tweak to the XML file to remove the dependency on the uniqueness of the service name, for as you know, in Windoz, something like svchost.exe can appear multiple times.
I don't have the time to go into additional detail, but this is something for either nagios or THold.

You can monitor Windoz Services by the actual service name, instead of the executable name. I'll re-export my templates / scripts for version H and post it here. But for reference, here is an example SNMP walk of the relivant parts.
