Is there some special way to monitor a windows process that I can see running under task manager, but not under windows services?  I have tried adding a process, but it doesn't appear to find it on the device when I remodel it.  Am I missing something on how you monitor processes on Windows?  Linux is pretty easy but Windows doesn't even have a Processes section under Components.

Thanks,

Your approach is the proper one. Adding a process with the proper regex and remodeling the device should work. If its not showing up in the component list, my first guess is your regex is off. Also remember since it is A regex field ".exe" needs to be "\.exe"

if you dont have a process section, maybe your snmp monitoring if off on the device?
In other words, services are monitored via wmi, processes are monitored via snmp
