    In order to manually upgrade the Pulseway agent to the latest version, the old version need to be removed first: rpm -e pcmonitor or dpkg --remove pcmonitor Check if pcmonitord process is still running: ps auxw | grep pcmonitord Kill the process if it is still running: killall pcmonitord Install the new version: rpm -Uhv pulseway_xXX.rpm or dpkg -i pulseway_xXX.deb Start the pulseway service: /etc/init.d/pulseway start

    In order to configure a Linux machine you have to edit the /etc/pulseway/config.xml file. Here's a sample configuration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <config xmlns="http://www.pulseway.com/linuxconfig"> <!--Pulseway Linux Monitoring Agent - pulseway.com --> <!--Account Information - Username: your Pulseway username - Password: your Pulseway password (the plain password will be automatically encrypted the next time the Pulseway service starts) - UseCustomServer: enable this option only if you have a dedicated Enterprise Server assigned to your account - CustomServerAddress: your Enterprise Server address--> &lt…

    I have Pulseway installed on a fresh Debian 9.1 box and receive the below error: pulseway[24336]: /usr/sbin/pulsewayd: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Any advice?

  5. Hi, It seemed to be working until the 13th Oct (was it auto-upgraded? - the config.xml.sample has the same datestamp as the first failure. the 'my account' 'monitored systems' shows it last logged in as 4.5.3 ) Now I can't get beyond: pulseway: Configuration read successfully! pulseway: Got exception signal: 4 Originally this happened with the existing config.xml. I copied the config.xml.sample, added in my Account details and gradually changed "true"s to "false"s I can connect using the rest api I can't seem to find any clue as to what signal 4 is? Is there a debug option? Thanks,

    Hey Guys, I am new to PC Monitor and Raspberry Pi, and I have run into some issues and I have some questions. I will start from the top. First, I am having issues with the RPI going offline. It seems to happen when I try accessing the RPI from the Iphone App (My main method). I have the RPI setup to ping a single device, and it seems that whenever I look at the ping responses on the iphone, the RPI drops offline completely. Usually after a while it comes back online. Today it actually went offline for a few hours. The only way I could get it back on was to restart the process. (It showed Failed When I checked the status of the process. Where do I go from here? Are the…

    Any idea on when the Arch package will be available? I've been using the older Java based install, but that's stopped working for some reason. I keep getting: "ERROR - Error registering computer : javax.net.ssl.SSLException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty" trying to start pulseway on my new install.

  22. I have a Linux Server that reports as up-to-date version 5.4. Is this correct? Because I can't move it in Pulseway 6.0 to another Organization or Site. I get an error message that the agent requires an update.
