3.       Click Go. You will see MC display in the IE browser and an Add Test pop-up.

Roboserver Test:

 

1. Add a new test using wizard and select WMI Wizard:

2. Select the computer where the service is running:

3. Set WMI Class to Win32_Service

 

4. In the Find Value field, enter the name of your RS service and click Find Next to locate it:

 

5. The Entry column is the service number and all properties for that service number (127 in the example above). Select the DisplayName and State properties for your RS service, then click the last filter button to isolate those two results.

 

 

 

 

6. Select the DisplayName property and set the Comparison Test to Primary Key. This will be used to locate the test when the monitor runs. If this isn’t checked, all services are tested which will always return a failed status.

7. Provide a meaningful Resource Name and Test Description, then click Run Test to verify the test works. If the service is up, it will pass. If not, it will fail. The screenshot below shows the status with the “Turn on Debug Messages” option checked.

8. Click Add Test and Next to complete this setup. A new test is added. When you are ready to implement this into production, set the Monitor Type to Production.
