How to monitor windows services
HIi Rahul_Mahajan you cannot achieve fully the scenario of closing the alert once the service is up. You can only achieve to get alert once the service is down. I have blogged about this here:

The method described there is by using the System event log but the same thing can be achieved with using Change Tracking solution which also tracks Windows Services states. In our book Inside Azure Management we have descried the scenario with using Change tracking as well. The example in the scenario also includes automatic service remediation by starting the service on the VM via runbook. This is described in the Automation chapter.

Is there any other MP to monitor all windows services using a “Monitor” (not Rule) ?
Currently we are monitoring windows services using a "Rule" which needs manual intervention to close the Service alerts in SCOM to avoid that we are looking for a MP to monitor all windows services using a “Monitor” which will close the alert automatically once the service is up.
Please let me know if there is any such MP to make this possible.
Thanks in Advance !!
