Invert Service Sensor error state to trigger on Started

Modified on 2025-06-10 16:25:53 +0200

It would be great if we could be alerted if a service starts. Currently we can get an error alert if a service is stopped. However we have some services which can cause issues in our environment and it would be good to get a critical alert if they start or warning alerts if the are starting etc.

This could work on the change of startup type

Hi there,

I'm afraid there is no native sensor/option for that within PRTG.

However, there is a custom approach, described here.

I hope this helps. :)

Kind regards,
