WIndows services monitoring via graph

We are monitoring CPU, IO and Memory utilization of the application servers. On Application server, there is product installed. As part of this product, 6 windows services run. Will it be possible to monitor the Performance of each service in terms of CPU, IO and Memory for a day or multiple day?

For example on Jun 12, how much CPU and Memory usage is consumed by the service1 in terms of the graph?

If yes, would you please let me know what are the configurations, do we have to do in Nagios XI?

Thanks

You would likely want to look into Windows Performance Counters. However monitoring services in particular can be extremely difficult if they are not their own executable. Often they are simply a dll that is loaded with other services under an svchost.exe process, making this kind of monitoring very difficult. That is not to say impossible though, and again a single executable likely is pretty easy to do if you can find the perf counter for it!
