Check Stopped Windows Service Status (Service Check)

Service Check Category: System Check

Passive: No

Description: An active check (use sparingly) to check the win32_service class for services that are in a “stopped” or “disabled” state. Useful for monitoring a server and validating that a service isn’t running (for example; on a dev or QA, where a running service can cause production problems).
