We now offer plenty of integrations for Monitoring Windows services and applications. Furthermore, this blog post highlights all the Windows Monitoring integrations now available on Domotz.
So with that, here are all the new Windows integrations we’ve currently got available on Domotz.

Windows Monitoring – Microsoft Services
Proactively monitor Microsoft Windows Services with Domotz network monitoring software.
What you can do:
- Create long-running executable applications that run in Windows sessions.
- Automatically restart these services when the computer boots
- Pause/restart the services.
These services do not show any user interface, which makes these features ideal for use on a server. Moreover, they are also helpful whenever you need long-running functionality that does not interfere with other users working on the same computer.
