    Two options : 

    - Create a custom class and discovery for these services, and use the wildcard in the discovery. That way you will discover all the services as distinct instances of this custom class, and you will be able to target your monitor at these instances and use their "name" variable property in the Service name field.

    - Create a scripted monitor with someting like 

    Get-Service -Name "gps*" | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Stopped"}
    and trigger an alert if result is not null.

    having said that, just to clear it up - you can't do that with GUI service monitor ;)

    You could start by reading  these articles, they are not exactly what I suggested but close enough and will provide you with quite a lot to understand in the first place.

    I ran into this issue just recently. I was able to use Tao Yangs Ops Manager Extended Powershell module .  The only downside is that it doesn't create a discovery and so the service must exist on the servers.  If it doesn't exist on the server, it will alert.
