Linux

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…

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

Supported Linux Distributions Debian based: Debian 6 or newer and Ubuntu 12.04 or newer RPM based: CentOS 6 or newer, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or newer, Oracle Linux 6 or newer, Fedora 16 or newer Choosing the right package First step when installing is to choose the right package from http://www.pulseway.com/downloads. You should consider your Linux distribution (debian or rpm based) and if you have a 32 or 64 bit machine. To determine the latest use the Linux command: uname -m If the result of this command is something like i386,i586 or i686 then it's a 32bit machine if it's x86_64 then it's a 64bit machine. Installing Now , that you have downloaded t…

We recently got an Axe Effect Temperature monitor to keep an eye on the server room temperature. This is a linux based device and we've managed to get the device discovered on the Site Map and we can see the temperature values from the device via a SNMP variable that we have setup. The issue is that we want to have Pulseway send out an alert if the server temperature rises about a certain level. Trying to define a policy to monitor the snmp variables to flag on an overheat condition, I am unable to properly map to these variables, I am assuming it's due to the fact that SNMP only applies to Windows devices? Was wondering if there was a work around for li…

I am trying to install the pulseway agent on a linux device (proxmox VE), but the registration is not working. After I run `pulseway-registration` and follow instructions, then I run `systemctl status pulseway`, this is the output that I get: ● pulseway.service - Remotely Monitor and Control IT Systems Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/pulseway.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2023-03-31 18:15:15 AEDT; 13min ago Process: 1837126 ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 10 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1837160 (pulsewayd) Tasks: 6 (limit: 38345) Memory: 3.5M CPU: 2.735s CGroup: /system.sli…

So I have configured Pulseway agent on RHEL 8 to monitor nginx. I have configured it as a systemd service and sure enough I get an alert if I stop nginx. But it only does this once. If I start the service wait a few mins and stop it again it does not re alert, even if I clear the alarm. The only way i can get it to work again is restart the pulseway service.

Hello All, I would like to Install pulseway on a FreeBSD based system. I saw some posts about this topic from way back in 2013; and was just wondering if there had been any more progress on this topic. Thanks!

Can anyone point me to the Linux Agent 8.* /etc/pulseway/config.xml documentation?

I have an Ubuntu server that Pulseway failed to work after the 8.0 upgrade. I left it for awhile and installed the new version which is now working. The group shows default site...... - Legacy. I stopped the service, verified the computer went offline and service had stopped, changed "Legacy" to my domain name, saved the XML then started the service. When it popped back online it still showed Legacy. I pulled the XNL and sure enough Pulseway changed it back. Did it again and again the service changed it back. Tried again, this time removing it client side, but still reverted when it populated. Why does the service keeps ignoring my settings and reverting to what I can onl…

Several Linux machines behind proxy server are suddenly showing as offline. No changes to proxy or network so assume there has been a software update? I have tested with the proxy server configured as an IP Address, and hostname. The above is when configured with IP Address. config.xml

Hello. I am only extremely short with TestAccount at Pulseway. I hope I am just too stupid or have not found the info with my poor English. # Question Linux -> Performance Monitor? For Windows systems I see CPU, RAM, hard disk. With my Debian I don't see that. Agent is installed. Are there sample policies somewhere or what do I have to do? I hope this works. Thanks a lot, Lars

Hello everyone, I don't know if the Pulseway agent is compatible with Chromebook and ChromeOS. Does anyone have the answer? Sincerely Dimitri

We are having some issues regarding offline notifications. The problem is that when the servers are rebooted for whatever reason, this does not generate a offline notification. It will only trigger if the server has been down for at least 5 minutes. For Windows servers the notification "Send a notification when the computer is shutting down" is working great, only this does not seem to function on Linux machines. Is there another way to track when a server gets a reboot and is back online within that 5 minute period?

By default pulseway reccognizes the systemd services running as root. i want to configure a service which is running as the current user... the service is started using the command "systemctl --user start servicename" the service is placed in the directory "/etc/systemd/user/servicename.service" I have tried using the systemd option in pulseway config, but it is not recognized.

Hi, I have pulseway 6.5 installed on Ubuntu 20.04 My config.xml includes a section which tries to monitor some website responses (two servers on the same LAN). When I query these websites in the WebApp, the pulseway daemon on the server crashes hard and no data is returned. Is this a bug in pulsewayd or an error in my config ? many thanks
