Hi,
Monitoring Orchestrator Service (Windows services) and receiving alerts when they go down is crucial for system administrators. I’ll provide you with approaches using PowerShell:
This approach involves creating a custom PowerShell script that sends email alerts whenever a crucial Windows service is not running.
Here’s how it works:
The script checks the status of services both locally and remotely.
It uses Get-Service to get the service status.
If the status changes, it sends an email alert.
The script keeps track of the last status polled using a text file.
If a service is not running and the text file is present, it sends an alert.
If a service is running and the text file is present, it deletes the text file and sends an alert.
