Datasource to monitor Windows Services/Processes automatically?

set 0=OK and 1=Not OK

This is exactly what I attempted to do, but I took it a step further. The WMI collector polls the string contained in status/state and checks for presence of one good value. Since this version is groovy, we can enumerate like this:

//Enumerations obtained from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cimwin32prov/win32-service and put in my preferred order so that they are in ascending severity. This allows thresholds for >= 1 3 5.
stateEnum = [
  "Running",
  "Start Pending",
  "Stop Pending",
  "Continue Pending",
  "Pause Pending",
  "Stopped",
  "Paused",
  "Unknown"
]

statusEnum = [
  "OK",
  "Error",
  "Degraded",
  "Unknown",
  "Pred Fail",
  "Starting",
  "Stopping",
  "Service",
  "Stressed",
  "NonRecover",
  "No Contact",
  "Lost Comm"
]

I took all the possible values and tried to sort them into ascending order of problem so that 0 is the optimum state and the higher the number, the higher the criticality of the problem.  If you have suggestions on a better, I'm completely open to reordering this.
