On the Configuration tab you will see 3 attributes
- ComputerName
- ServiceName
- CheckStartupType
The last attribute is the important one and we need to set it to false, however simply typing false and clicking OK will not work for us.
The line “<CheckStartupType />” needs to be changed to “<CheckStartupType>false</CheckStartupType>” for the value to take effect.
Save the XML file, save the Monitor properties, and save the MP. The service monitor should now ignore the startup type of the service you specified to monitor
