Windows 2003 Services and Nagios

We are currently doing service monitoring on all the Windows server in our domain using NRPE with Nagios & NSClient++

On our two Windows 2003 servers we get this return for services down:
CRITICAL: clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32: stopped (critical), SysmonLog: stopped (critical)

I am not exactly sure what these services are or why they are down.

My impression is the NRPE services check takes all services that are set to start at boot from the msconfig, and checks there status. So these services are set to run at boot but are not running anymore?

Any Ideas?

(1) clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32 - refers to .NET 4.0 Runtime Optimization Service (like the .NET framework)

(2) Sysmonlog - refers to Performance Logs and Alerts Service (like perfmon)

It is probably flagged by "CheckServiceState" that checks the state of one or more service on the system and generates a critical state if any service is not in the required state. And these two services would be in the list of services to be checked for those Automatic startup type services.

For (1),  I was thinking is to repair .NET4.0 framework by download which allow repair.

For (2), if starting perfmon has issue or loading of counters then I am wondering if there is any permission issues here.

The event viewer may also has more diagnostic log as well. Sorry not a nagios folk

Yes but are these services that should be running all the time and if they aren't there is a problem, or is it normal for these services to only run at certain times and then be turned off regularly?


If it is normal for them to stop and start when needed I will just exclude them from the check. If they are indeed important services I will investigate further into why they are turned off.
