Restarting a service with WMI service sensor

Votes:

0

Is there a timer before attempting to restart a service when it is down? Or a min number of down/warnings notifications? In our sensor, the time between the service stopped detection "Warning The Windows service you want to monitor is not running (Stopped). (code: PE011)" and service restart "Notify Service restarted. (code: PE052)" is 12 mins approx. Can it be reduced ? Can it just attempt to restart on first warning that the service is not running?

Hi there,

This cannot be defined in PRTG since PRTG does not restart the service. The service is restarted by Windows, so I recommend to check the service configuration in Windows.
