WMI Service sensor
As user I want to use the WMI Service sensor with an account which has only read access as long as I use the option "Do not start/restart the service (default)".
Because the WMI Service sensor has an option to restart the service in case it is not running, the user account for this sensor must be a write user. For optimal security I might want to use read-only accounts for monitoring. This would render the WMI restart option nonfunctional but allow me to not provide PRTG write access just to monitor the running status of a Windows service.
