Services#
Use this section to configure how MonitorWare Agent collects data. Services are the product inputs. They gather events or measurements and pass them to the ruleset assigned to that service.
For example, the Syslog Server service accepts incoming syslog messages and Event Log Monitor extracts Windows Event Log data. Multiple service instances can run at the same time when their settings do not conflict.
You must define at least one enabled service, otherwise the product does not collect any data and cannot do useful work.
Do not confuse configured services with service defaults in the tree view. Service defaults are templates. They provide default properties for new services but do not run and do not collect data by themselves.
Test mode is available for selected services, including Event Log Monitor and File Monitor. Use it only for testing, because it can replay the same events or files repeatedly.
