# service
Use the `service` Chef InSpec audit resource to test if the named service is installed, running and/or enabled.
Under some circumstances, it may be necessary to specify the service manager by using one of the following service manager-specific resources: `bsd_service`, `launchd_service`, `runit_service`, `systemd_service`, `sysv_service`, or `upstart_service`. These resources are based on the `service` resource.
<br>
## Availability
### Installation
This resource is distributed along with Chef InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
### Version
This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.
## Syntax
A `service` resource block declares the name of a service and then one (or more) matchers to test the state of the service:
describe service('service_name') do
it { should be_installed }
it { should be_enabled }
it { should be_running }
end
where
* `('service_name')` must specify a service name
* `be_installed`, `be_enabled`, and `be_running` are valid matchers for this resource
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this Chef InSpec audit resource.
### Test if the postgresql service is both running and enabled
describe service('postgresql') do
it { should be_enabled }
it { should be_running }
end
### Test if the mysql service is both running and enabled
describe service('mysqld') do
it { should be_enabled }
it { should be_running }
end
### Test if ClamAV (an antivirus engine) is installed and running
describe package('clamav') do
it { should be_installed }
its('version') { should eq '0.98.7' }
end
describe service('clamd') do
it { should_not be_enabled }
it { should_not be_installed }
it { should_not be_running }
end
### Test Unix System V run levels
On targets that are using SystemV services, the existing run levels can also be checked:
describe service('sshd').runlevels do
its('keys') { should include(2) }
end
describe service('sshd').runlevels(2,4) do
it { should be_enabled }
end
### Override the service manager
Under some circumstances, it may be required to override the logic in place to select the right service manager. For example, to check a service managed by Upstart:
describe upstart_service('service') do
it { should_not be_enabled }
it { should be_installed }
it { should be_running }
end
This is also possible with `systemd_service`, `runit_service`, `sysv_service`, `bsd_service`, and `launchd_service`. Provide the control command when it is not to be found at the default location. For example, if the `sv` command for services managed by runit is not in the `PATH`:
describe runit_service('service', '/opt/chef/embedded/sbin/sv') do
it { should be_enabled }
it { should be_installed }
it { should be_running }
end
### Verify that IIS is running
describe service('W3SVC') do
it { should be_installed }
it { should be_running }
end

## Matchers
For a full list of available matchers, please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
### be_enabled
The `be_enabled` matcher tests if the named service is enabled:
it { should be_enabled }
### be_installed
The `be_installed` matcher tests if the named service is installed:
it { should be_installed }
### be_running
The `be_running` matcher tests if the named service is running:
it { should be_running }
