By default, only the framework methods like OnStart, OnStop for the windows service process are instrumented. You can use Custom Instrumentation to track more methods in your windows service process. 

Trace is not getting collected
Traces will be collected when the transactions' response time/execution time exceeds the transaction tracing threshold.
By default, the transaction tracing threshold is 2 or 5 secs. 
Reduce it to some minimal value to collect more traces.

If the monitors are not listed, check the health monitor tool and share the diagnostic zip file with appmanager-support@manageengine.com.
