Windows service metricset

edit

The service metricset of the Windows module reads the status of Windows services.

Dashboard

edit

The service metricset comes with a predefined dashboard. For example:

metricbeat windows service

Configuration

edit
- module: windows
  metricsets: ["service"]
  period: 60s

Filtering

edit

Processors 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
