How to Monitor Windows Services: Performance, Errors, Usage
It seems like everyone these days is writing cool ASP.NET web applications. However, we all know that a lot of the real work is still done behind the scenes in background services.
Buying something on Amazon no doubt kicks off a waterfall of tasks that are done behind the scenes to fulfill a single order. Including verifying stock, shipping, contacting product vendors, recording sales statistics, and much more. Background service applications are used by many developers to handle all the less glamorous details of critical business transactions.
For example, at Stackify, we have probably three times as many servers that do background processing than we do web servers. Our web servers receive a lot of data and simply queue it up for Windows Services to process behind the scenes. Monitoring our Windows Services and their business transactions is mission-critical to us.
In this guide, we are going to walk through how to monitor your critical Windows Services.
