    We have in our own business office 10 servers. In total with our customers we have about 50 servers. We would like to install the Enterprise server in our own business office. But what if the Enterprise server is offline? (server down or line down). We can host the server in another datacentre but it could always go offline for what reason it is.

  15. I've read this blog here about 'setting up multiple user accounts'. I've not tested this out as yet - but what happens to the installed monitored agent if you delete a the user from the being a user of pulseway (i.e. the employee / contractor is terminated)... Does the agent still remain actively monitored? - or does it get lost? - or does the system not allow the deletion of the user until all agents responsible are moved to a new user? - Is there a clean handover? - or do we have to login to each monitored agent device and change credentials before the deletion of the user? Also - when you adopt a to allow multiple users across multiple agents... when it com…

  17. Hi Getting used to, and liking, version 6. It's good to be able to apply policys to systems within Groups. However, as a lot of my clients are small, I have lots of small Groups. Is there a way to apply a policy, or individual setting to machines in more than one group e.g. applying to a scope for instance. At the moment it's time consuming to make a change in each group. Sorry - think this may have gone to wrong section...I'm not using Enterprise Server.

    Starting this morning we received the following error: Web Service Error The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. Nothing is currently able to connect to the Pulseway server. It is hard to diagnose as I'm not able to find any log files for Pulseway anywhere to help narrow down what may be causing this. Any ideas on what may be going or where I can find some log files?

  19. Hi guys, Lately I've noticed that the notifications are not in sync, with the associated accounts. If i delete a notification (as an associated account) it most of the time it will not be delete from all the other associated accounts. Then i'm forced to delete the not. per account.. Do i have to change some settings in the enterprise server or is it because of the amount of associated accounts?

    i extend my enterprise servers capabilities by own applications and i use the pc monitor logon (username/passwort) to authenticate. i had to notice that my notification router (the app) cannot be used anymore since the passwords are salted before stored into the database. has the salting started with an update of the enterprise server? i didn't install/change something. i need to know the salting algorithm to make that working again, i have to be able to calculate the salted-hash outside the enterprise server in my own application.

    Hello. We are using Pulseway Enterprise Server as SaaS. One of our servers is restricted both inbound and outbound for the traffic it can handle by our firewall, but we want to be able to communicate with Pulseway for monitoring. Do you have a list of host names or IP addresses that we can allow in our firewall so it can communicate? I can see from previous posts if we allow HTTPS it should communicate but we would like to lock down the source and destination ports for security purposes. We've done some packet monitoring but we are getting various server responses back (for example load balancing servers) so I want to make sure we accept all Pulseway connections. …
