Overview
By setting up an action profile (that tells up.time how to deal with problems on a monitored system), up.time can automatically restart a service on a Windows server when that service goes down.

To configure up.time to restart a Windows service:
For example, to restart the service that creates a network connection, enter Remote Access Connection Manager
in this field.

NOTE: the up.time Agent Password will need to be set on the agent server using the up.time Agent Admin Console.
Applying the Action Profile to a Monitor
After the action profile is created, apply it to a Windows Service Check monitor by selecting the name of the profile from the Action Profile dropdown list in the monitor definition window. Ensure that the service name specified in the monitor matches the one in the action profile.
For more information on configuring a Windows Service Check monitor, refer to the Windows Service Check section in the Microsoft Windows Monitors chapter of the up.time User Guide.
