For events to be collected, the SnareMSSQL service or services must be running. The status of the SnareMSSQL services may be confirmed via the Services listing in Windows. The Services listing may be found either under Administrative Tools or by selecting Services from Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Services.
For stand alone installations (see Chapter 3-Agent see Agent Installation for details on the deployment scenarios), if the service is not running, select start and automatic so that the service is started automatically when the host is rebooted.
For failover cluster installations, there might be one or more services. Each service will be identified by the SnareMSSQL name followed by a dollar sign and the name of the instance being monitored, for example SnareMSSQL$NamedInst.
Once the SnareMSSQL Service is running, its status can be viewed via the remote control web interface.Remote Control Interface.
