Windows service metricset
editWindows service metricset
editThis functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
The service
metricset of the Windows module reads the status of Windows
services.
Dashboard
editThe service metricset comes with a predefined dashboard. For example:
Configuration
edit- module: windows metricsets: ["service"] period: 60s
Filtering
editProcessors can be used to filter the events based on the service states or their names. The example below configures the metricset to drop all events except for the events for the firewall service. See Filter and enhance the exported data for more information about using processors.
- module: windows metricsets: ["service"] period: 60s processors: - drop_event.when.not.equals: windows.service.display_name: Windows Firewall
