I originally wrote this in 2015 for the Microsoft Store team to monitor cash registers and printers back when Microsoft had retail stores throughout the country. Some years later I saw that some other dude (Jasper) wrote a blog article explaining almost the same monitoring concept so I never bothered to publish this MP. However, I don’t know that he actually provided the MP. I can’t seem to find it. Since then I’ve deployed this MP for number of customers who were unable to write their own. Seems like there might be more folks who would enjoy this so here it is. Mine contains a few differences (MatchCount and a performance view).

This is a very simple solution which has some features which I think are nice, details below.
