Hi All, How to monitor services in Azure VMs like IIS, MSSQL or any other Windows service. Here we already have integration with service-now and want to achieve if Windows service is down we will...
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.

Hello Stanislav,
I am trying to write a query to get results when ‘Service A’ is in running state and ‘Service B’ is in stopped state. I am getting 0 results. Below is the query
Event
| where EventLog == ‘System’ and EventID == 7036 and Source == ‘Service Control Manager’
| parse kind=relaxed EventData with * ” Windows_Service_Name ” Windows_Service_State ” *
| where Windows_Service_Name == “Service A” and Windows_Service_State == “running”
| where Windows_Service_Name == “Service B” and Windows_Service_State == “stopped”
| sort by TimeGenerated desc
| project Computer, Windows_Service_Name, Windows_Service_State, TimeGenerated
Appreciate your response.
