<maml:para>This monitor monitors the Memory usage of a Windows service by querying WMI for the performance counter on a timed interval. The monitor is a consecutive samples over threshold monitor. This means that the monitor will alert if the memory usage exceeds the given threshold for the given number of consecutive samples.

<maml:para>This monitor checks the status of a Windows service by querying the service control manager on a timed interval. The monitor can be configured in two ways.</maml:para>
<maml:para>1) If the monitor is configured to monitor only automatic services. In this case, if the service is set to automatically start and the service is not currently running an alert will be raised. If the service is set to manually start or it is disabled, no alert will be raised when the service is stopped.</maml:para>
<maml:para>2) If the monitor is not configured to monitor only automatic services. In this case, no matter how the service is configured to start, if the service is not currently running an alert will be raised.</maml:para>

<maml:title>Causes</maml:title>
<maml:para>A service can stop for many reasons, including:</maml:para>
<maml:list>
<maml:listItem>
<maml:para>The service was stopped by an administrator.</maml:para>
</maml:listItem>
<maml:listItem>
<maml:para>The service was prevented from starting because the user account could not be authenticated.</maml:para>
</maml:listItem>
<maml:listItem>
<maml:para>The service encountered an exception that stopped the service.</maml:para>
