Settings API - OS services monitoring schema table

OS services monitoring (`builtin:os-services-monitoring`)

Set up alerts for OS services in undesirable states both for Windows and Linux systemd. Note: Alerting feature is included in host units, however if monitoring is turned on for full availability metric DDU consumption takes place. Refer to documentation for more details.

Please provide feedback to us about this feature on Dynatrace Community.

In order to set up the alert for a certain group of OS services, you must first define a new policy. Specify which service's states you would like to be alerted about and then add detection rules in order to tell Dynatrace which exact OS services you are interested in. You may specify multiple detection rules.

Note that policies are specified for each of supported operating systems individually and that some of the parameters and properties vary between them.

Parameters

Property	Label	Type	Description	Required
enabled	Enabled	boolean	-	required
system	System	enum	-	required
name	Rule name	text	-	required
monitoring	Monitor	boolean	Toggle the switch in order to enable or disable availability metric monitoring for this policy. Availability metrics consume custom metrics (DDUs). Refer to documentation for DDU consumption examples. Each monitored service consumes one custom metric.	required
alerting	Alert	boolean	Toggle the switch in order to enable or disable alerting for this policy	required
notInstalledAlerting	Alert if service is not installed	boolean	By default, Dynatrace does not alert if the service is not installed. Toggle the switch to enable or disable this feature	required
statusConditionWindows	Service status condition for alerting	text	This string has to match a required format. See OS services monitoring. `$eq(paused)` – Matches services that are in paused state. Available logic operations: `$not($eq(paused))` – Matches services that are in state different from paused. `$or($eq(paused),$eq(running))` – Matches services that are either in paused or running state. Use one of the following values as a parameter for this condition: `running` `stopped` `start_pending` `stop_pending` `continue_pending` `pause_pending` `paused`	required
statusConditionLinux	Service status condition for alerting	text	This string has to match a required format. See OS services monitoring. `$eq(failed)` – Matches services that are in failed state. Available logic operations: `$not($eq(active))` – Matches services with state different from active. `$or($eq(inactive),$eq(failed))` – Matches services that are either in inactive or failed state. Use one of the following values as a parameter for this condition: `reloading` `activating` `deactivating` `failed` `inactive` `active`	required
alertActivationDuration	Alerting delay	integer	The number of 10-second measurement cycles before alerting is triggered Set this value to control the speed of alerting. One is the lowest setting equal to one 10-second sample. If you set this value to 30, alerting is triggered after 5 minutes.	required
detectionConditionsWindows	Detection rules	list	-	required
detectionConditionsLinux	Detection rules	list	-	required
metadata	Properties	set	Set of additional key-value properties to be attached to the triggered event.	required
