It seems like it's time to start looking at alternatives. I cannot recommend Pulseway in good conscience anymore. We've been unable to get an answer on here or from our account manager within the last 24 hours, on a clearly very critical issue. An issue which appears to affect many clients, not just ourselves. Instead of focusing so much on new features and automation, why not make sure your core features are working properly first.

Hi @Rocket39 Thanks a mill for reaching out. At the moment there is no plan to update the minimum requirement for endpoints to be less than 20 and in regards to why we removed the free plan, the primary reason for removing it was to ensure that we can continue to offer a high-quality, sustainable service to our users as well as streamlining the process' and resources. As our platform grows and evolves, the demands on our resources have increased significantly. By retiring the free plan to net new users, we were able to focus on making sure that our key product (Pulseway Team legacy plan) is continuously being invested in and supported up to the standard that we want to uphold. I hope this answers your questions and if you need anything else please ask away. Thanks, Stefan

I was wondering if there was a way to put together a script/workflow that would log a user out of a Windows remote desktop environment after a certain amount of inactivity Been looking around, but can't seem to find any examples - which a bit of a surprise to be honest.... Thanks!

Hi @StefanMcl_Pulseway Have there been any updates on the issue? We're seeing this problem in our organization as well. Most, if not all 3rd party applications are not being patched by Pulseway. This is a pretty serious issue, as many of these applications have unpatched vulnerabilities. We've just reached out to our account manager as well.

What is "EMEA and ANZ "?

Hi @StefanMcl_Pulseway, I was lucky enough to have gotten a free account back when they were available, however, I'm looking to be able to manage a few more devices than the 2 that come with the plan. Is it on the roadmap to have a plan that doesn't start at 20 devices? I'm only looking to do 5 or so total (family and the like). The 2 that come with the free plan aren't quite enough but 20 minimum for home use is quite a lot as I want this to stay on the more affordable side. Also, out of curiosity, are you able to shed some light on why the free plan was removed? Thanks!

Hi @StefanMcl_Pulseway, thanks for your response. I agree that it seems like a bug, however, I'm not convinced that it's necessarily the installer that isn't working right seeing as the older ISO that we've used for months also didn't fix it. I'll still get you my email, though. Thanks for that.

On drive C it worked however I wanted to install it on secondary SSD...

Hey @DaveBoxG Thanks for reaching out, I think the reason this isn't installing is because the directory you are selecting is not the local drive defaulting to s. Could you try selecting c instead and report back? Thanks a mill, Stefan

We've been facing this issue since the rollout of 9.5, and it has brought our onboarding processes to a comparative standstill. After being promised a quick follow-up, we were told by support in February we have no choice but to wait until May for a solution to be included in 9.6. If/when you do reach out to support I hope you have better luck than we did!

Hi everyone, I have formatted and reinstalled windows on this computer and now am trying to install Pulseway on it again. During install it gives me this error: I have checked this file and it has all permissions and even added everyone with full control to it and still cannot write it? Any ideas? I cannot install it ... I can delete the file and click try again and same happens./..

It would be handy if there was an official Unraid client for Pulseway. Preferably one that installs as a plugin and can be managed from the Unraid UI.

This keeps happening on one of my Debian bullseye boxes. I have other boxes where this is not happening at all and the client is fine. So I'm not sure why this particular box has this issue. My XML config for this box is stock.

Hey @Monotype6932 Thanks a mill for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear that you are facing issues with he custom iso installer, seeing as it ran fine up until recently this leads me to believe that it may be a possible bug/glitch. To get to the bottom of this I would love to raise a ticket in your name so if you could DM me your Pulseway email I will raise a ticket to support and we can figure out what's happening. Thank Stefan

Hello all, We are having an issue when we add new systems to Pulseway using the custom iso installer in that it doesn't seem to acknowledge that the system is newly added. Because of this PW doesn't run the workflow designed to run at install and it's creating quite a hassle for us seeing as we set up about 100 computers a year. It worked without any issues up until recently. We'd run the iso, PW would see the newly added system, and the workflow would be triggered. Now, we run the iso, the system is still added to PW, but nothing happens. There is no notification that the system has been added nor is the workflow triggered. If I then manually run the same install task, everything works fine. The only thing I can think of is the 9.5 release happened around the same time but even using the same 9.3 installer we've been using for months doesn't work. I've spent WAY too much time looking for the cause but I can't figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello Christian, We are facing the same problem here! Do you already have a solution for this issue! Greetings, Edwin

I looked at this script, and it will always return "Operating system is not supported" because in the script $major and $minor are strings, I was able to confirm that with the commands: $major.GetType() IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True True String System.Object $minor.GetType() IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True True String System.Object I recommend updating the script to this, and I highlighted the changes: $version = (Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).Version [int]$major = $version.split(".")[0] [int]$minor = $version.split(".")[1] if ($major -gt 6 -or ($major -eq 6 -and $minor -gt 1)) { Optimize-Volume -driveletter $pwd.drive.name -Analyze -verbos } Else { Write-Output "Operating system is not supported." } Here is the original script: $version = (Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).Version $major = $version.split(".")[0] $minor = $version.split(".")[1] if ($major -gt 6 -or ($major -eq 6 -and $minor -gt 1)) { Optimize-Volume $pwd.drive.name -Analyze -verbos } Else { Write-Output "Operating system is not supported." } REF: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/storage/optimize-volume?view=windowsserver2022-ps REF: https://lazyadmin.nl/powershell/if-else-statements/ REF: https://theitbros.com/powershell-convert-string-to-int/

Hey @Navi Thanks for reaching out! The The correct location of the log file is -> C:\Program Files\Pulseway\Patch\logs -> there will be many folder's based on time/date, so open the folder and then the log file. If the Patch folder itself is missing, then there wont be patch policy applied to that system. Let me know if this helps question and if you have any more questions please let me know! Thanks, Stefan

Good morning Stafan, The problem isn't with any particular application, the issue is the message received says that 3PP is not supported on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 which was later confirmed by who I assume is our account rep. However, we have been using other methods to mitigate the cURL problem and also manage VMware Tools versions, to name a couple. I randomly selected about 50 or so items on the list of supported apps for 3PP, and none included those two OS's, and again, our account rep told us it's not supported. So my question is, is this ever going to happen?

I started 3pp on a server, I get an error message "Error during patching process 3PP patching failed: Log file 'C:\Program Files\Pulseway\Patch\scan_results\scan_YJ4VO4.json' not found." I don't have this folder on the server what could be the problem

Saturday 21 pm. No Pulseway notification on low storage as already mentioned by Jean-François. Please fix this bug. Pulseway just becoming useless. Real customers blocked half a day. 😱
