<div>Hi Christy</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Asside from monitoring,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A quick review of the Event log sometimes reveals a lot about particular issues, just look for the time of the startup events then manually read through events that occured just prior to that,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also you can always try using NC_NEt, for an easy to use WIndows plugin.</div>
<div>it uses the check_nt.c plugin to monitor services and other standard things</div>
<div>It also has its own replacement of check_nt called check_nc_net to handle more checks,</div>
<div>like WMI queries, Event Log queries, and more. THe install process is a msi installer just double click and start the service, and the configuration files are documented internally.</div>
