Service Availability Control and Monitoring
Engine
monitors services specified by the plug-ins to ensure application availability.
In the event that a specified service stops or fails, Engine can take up
to three pre-configured actions to remediate the issue. The user may
configure these reactions via the Engine Management Service User
Interface.
When the plug-in
is installed, it scans all services to see if they are in the automatic or the
started state. When the plug-in is installed, all protected services will be
set to manual (unless otherwise stated).

dynamically discovered and applied through a set of dedicated tasks executed
periodically.
