        use                     generic-service
        hostgroup_name          windows-servers
        service_description     VNC

Add the following to create a new service definition to monitor the Service state of the Print Spooler service:

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        hostgroup_name          windows-servers
        service_description     eTrust ITM Web Access Service
        check_command           check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l "Print Spooler"
        }
