Hi,

I am configuring the input.conf on my windows hosts to get the status of some services but I get an error for some of them while other are working fine:

"Found a stanza named 'WinHostMon://Service' without valid type, this will not be processed"

input.conf
[WinHostMon://Service]
type = service
interval = 150
index = main
