I’ve recently set up Nagios on one of our test servers, and the Windows client for Nagios allows you to monitor services (whether they started, stopped, etc.). However, the name of the service to monitor isn’t always the same as the name in the Services application in Administrative Tools.
To find out the name of the service, you’ll have to look at the registry:
- Open up regedit (Run, regedit)
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
- Navigate to SYSTEM
- Navigate to CurrentControlSet
- Navigate to Services
- Find the service you plan on monitoring. The name of the node is the name you need to enter on the Nagios server as the name of the service.

sc query |findstr /i “service_name”
Ah, but if I know the service name, I don’t have to determine the service name…:-)
And if you use the displayed name of the service this will just output the line with that displayed name, not the actual service name.
What would help is redirecting the output of “sc query” to a file, and then do a find in that file – that will give you some context.

Or from the Services (mmc) console:
* double-click the service you want to monitor, in order to open up the properties (or right-click + properties)
* look at the ‘Service Name’ at the top

how i find the (service name) my computer for D-LINK router dir 300
Do you mean you want to monitor a service running on your D-Link router? I don’t think that is possible without modifying the router, and allowing a nagios client to run on the router. Or am I misunderstanding your question?
