Monitor Windows services on a device with N-able N-central

You can monitor Windows services using N-central Windows Service. When monitoring is enabled, a new instance of Windows Service is created with the service name appended to the instance name.

For example, monitoring the DHCP Client service creates a new instance named "Windows Service - DHCP Client".

This feature is only available for managed Windows devices with N-able N-central agents installed.

1. Go to Views > All Devices and click the Network Devices tab.
2. Select the device Name.
3. Go to Tools > Services.
4. In the Monitored column, move the slider to On or Off to enable or disable monitoring.
   • To monitor multiple services, tick the check boxes for the processes you want.
5. Select Monitor with N-able N-central.
6. Choose Turn On.
7. Select Save.

Disabling monitoring removes all Windows Service instances from the target device.

Once enabled, the N-central Windows Service begins monitoring the selected service.
