Hi there,
How do I create a WMI sensor to probe my Windows 2008 R2 server services e.g. printer manager service? All I want is to response running or Stopped back to the graph. If it is Stopped, PRTG should allow me to trigger alert. If running, the color show be green.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there too,
You can do this by using one of built-in Sensors:
PRTG Manual: WMI Service Sensor
PRTG Manual: SNMP Windows Service Sensor
Kind regards.
