Hi, Because of company policies, I need to disable some services and I need to be able to monitor that this services are Stopped at all time. My problem is that the WMI Service Sensor sees a Service stopped and reports it as an error. How can I change this behavior??

Hello,

that sort of reverse functionality of a sensor where down is actually OK is not yet possible. This might be available in a future version.

If you are familiar with WQL scripts you could write your own custom sensor that checks a service and then changes the actual returned not OK into an OK
