Service Watch

A Python web application that monitors Windows services, automatically restarts them when they stop, sends email alerts, and charts uptime over time.

Features

• Monitor any number of Windows services using each service's short name and a friendly dashboard label.
• Automatically restart stopped services, with a cooldown, a maximum-attempt limit, and a stability period that resets the attempt count after a service runs reliably.
• Send optional email notifications when a service goes down, recovers, or the monitor gives up restarting it.
• View 24-hour uptime bars for each service.
• Keep history in memory and in an append-only JSONL file. No database is required.
• Use demo mode on macOS and Linux to explore the dashboard without Windows services.
• Write application logs to a rotating servicewatch.log file.
