#Windows Services

Plugin: apps.plugin Module: services

#Overview

This integration monitors resource utilization grouped by Windows Service.

It auto-discovers running Windows services via the Service Control Manager and groups each service's process tree to aggregate CPU, memory, I/O, and other metrics per service. Processes not belonging to any service are grouped under 'not-services'.

This collector is only supported on the following platforms:

• windows

This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.

#Default Behavior

#Auto-Detection

All running Windows services are automatically discovered. No configuration is needed.

#Limits

The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.

#Performance Impact

No additional SCM query overhead. The service list is already queried by apps.plugin for process naming. Per-iteration work involves walking parent chains to assign service names.

#Setup

#Prerequisites

No action required.

#Configuration

#Options

Service charts are enabled by default. Use the without-services (or no-services) command line option to disable them.

#via File

There is no configuration file.

#Examples

There are no configuration examples.

#Alerts

There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.

#Metrics

Metrics grouped by scope.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.

#Per windows service

These metrics refer to the Windows Service.

Labels:

Label	Description
service	The display name of the Windows service.
