EventReporter Event ID 108: The service was stopped#

Answer#

The product service completed shutdown.

Event details#

Event ID: 108
Severity: Information
Component: Windows service lifecycle
Windows Event Log source: Adiscon EvntSLog
Available since: Current supported versions; original introduction not recorded
Message pattern: The service was stopped.

Possible causes#

Windows, an administrator, an installer, or product shutdown logic requested an orderly stop.

Immediate checks#

No repair is required when the stop was intended.
If the stop was unexpected, inspect preceding product and Service Control Manager events for the initiating condition.
Distinguish this orderly stop from a process termination or crash before changing configuration.

Detailed procedures#

Verify service state, dependencies, and service account — Confirm service state, start mode, dependencies, account, and SCM errors.
Collect an Event ID and neighboring product events — Preserve the complete event and the product events immediately before and after it.
Export configuration and collect a bounded debug log — Create a text configuration export and time-bounded debug capture, then disable debugging.

Verify the result#

Confirm that an intended stop leaves the service Stopped, or that an authorized restart remains Running and processes one identifiable event.

Evidence to collect#

The complete Windows Application Event Log entry, including all event detail.
The product name, exact version, service account, and event timestamp with time zone.
A configuration export and debug log covering the same time window, with secrets removed.

Escalation#

This event normally records state rather than a failure. Escalate only when the state was unexpected or the associated operation does not recover.
