How to Monitor services using asp.net?

[Guest]

Is there a way to monitor a windows service using asp.net? I would like to
have a web page listing 5-6 services and their status (running, stopped etc).
Any tips on how to do this would be appreciated.

Hi Anders,

Here is the piece of code that displays the services in the machine and also
there status.
Here in this code i am building a temp DataTable which inserting those
values into it.
so that it can be bind to Datagrid for display purpose.


using System.ServiceProcess;
DataTable dtSrvName = new DataTable();

dtSrvName.Columns.Add(new
DataColumn("ServiceName",Type.GetType("System.String")));

dtSrvName.Columns.Add(new
DataColumn("ServiceType",Type.GetType("System.String")));

dtSrvName.Columns.Add(new
DataColumn("Status",Type.GetType("System.String")));

System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController[] arrSrvCtrl;

arrSrvCtrl = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServices();

foreach(System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController tmpSC in arrSrvCtrl)

{

DataRow drSrvName = dtSrvName.NewRow();


if(tmpSC.Status==ServiceControllerStatus.Running )

{

drSrvName[0] = tmpSC.DisplayName.ToString();

drSrvName[1] = tmpSC.ServiceType.ToString();

drSrvName[2] = tmpSC.Status.ToString();

}

else if(tmpSC.Status== ServiceControllerStatus.Paused )

{

drSrvName[0] = tmpSC.DisplayName.ToString();

drSrvName[1] = tmpSC.ServiceType.ToString();

drSrvName[2] = tmpSC.Status.ToString();

}

else

{

drSrvName[0] = tmpSC.DisplayName.ToString();

drSrvName[1] = tmpSC.ServiceType.ToString();

drSrvName[2] = tmpSC.Status.ToString();

}

dtSrvName.Rows.Add(drSrvName);

}

DataGrid1.Visible = true;

DataGrid1.DataSource = dtSrvName;

DataGrid1.DataBind();

lblStatus.Text = "";

Label1.Text = "";




Hope this helps you.

Thanks

Simply drag the service from the Visual Studio.NET server explorer window
onto your web form.
You then have some objects you can interact with.
The only issue may be security since the standard ASPNET account doesn't
have permission to interact with windows services. Therefore you may need
to use impersonation to run under a different user account. For testing
purposes you can have it use your username and password.

Here's more info on impersonation:
