New Relic's Windows Services integration collects data from the services running on your Windows hosts into our platform. You can check the state and start mode of each service, find out which hosts are running a service, add services to workloads, set up alerts for services, and more.
For information on how to use and configure the Windows services integration, read the official documentation.
Our integration is bundled with the Windows agent: if you are already monitoring Windows hosts on New Relic, you just need to enable the integration to get Windows services data into our platform.
To get data from Windows, the Windows services integration uses a reduced version of the Prometheus exporter for Windows, which exposes Prometheus metrics on the port specified in the agent configuration. The integration collects these metrics, transforms them into entities, filters them, and then sent them to New Relic.
This integration comes bundled with New Relic's Windows infrastructure agent. It's not enabled by default. For installation and configuration instructions, see the official documentation.
To build the integration, run win_build.ps1. This PowerShell script takes care of building the project and the supported version of the integration, placing the binaries in /target/bin.
Note that only Windows is supported.
Once built, the integration can be tested running nri-winservices.exe, which is in the ./target/bin directory, using the config file in ./test/config.yml. The command spins up automatically the exporter with the provided configuration.
PS .\nri-winservices.exe -config_path "../../../test/config.yml"Changelog of releases is create by running git-chglog --next-tag v0.0.0.
Commit messages not following the conventional commits pattern (es: type(scope): what I have changed) will be not included in the Changelog.
Should you need assistance with New Relic products, you are in good hands with several support diagnostic tools and support channels.
This troubleshooting framework steps you through common troubleshooting questions.
New Relic offers NRDiag, a client-side diagnostic utility that automatically detects common problems with New Relic agents. If NRDiag detects a problem, it suggests troubleshooting steps. NRDiag can also automatically attach troubleshooting data to a New Relic Support ticket. Remove this section if it doesn't apply.
If the issue has been confirmed as a bug or is a feature request, file a GitHub issue.
