Why is Windows Services Monitoring important?
Many software applications that run on Windows NT, 2000 or
above run as windows services, running as background processes
with no direct user interface and no logged-on user (e.g.
as a server). They are typically started automatically and
therefore are expected to stay running. If any of these important
services should fail, many users and external services are
immediately affected and so ensuring that these services are
running continuously is a key requirement for most system
administrators.
