Hi yaquaholic​, The Microsoft: Windows Server PowerPack provides 2 options for Service monitoring.

  1. The option you describe as the blunderbuss approach is handled by the "Microsoft: Windows Server Service Configuration" Dynamic App. It alerts when a service set to Automatic Start-up, but not set to Trigger and not in the exclude database table.
  2. The other follows the SNMP Internal Collection approach.  The only alerts are for Service Policy monitors set for that device.  This one is handled by the following Dynamic Apps.
    "Microsoft: Windows Server IC Process Service Cache"
    "Microsoft: Windows Server IC Service Performance"
    "Microsoft: Windows Server IC Service Inventory"

The second option is available in Microsoft: Windows Server PowerPack version 112 or greater.

Regards,

Erick
