Linux installation and configuration

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  6. Hi guys, I'm new to Pulseway ans i must say that it's a great software. I'm using the Ubuntu version. I'd like to monitor (and restart if necessary) my plex media server process. I can't figure out how the config.xml "services" section works. I'm using "sudo service plexmediaserver start" to start Plex ... Can anyone help me with that issue ? Thanks Best regards, Thibault.

  7. Hi, I installed pulseway to my arch linux machine, the registration went fine. The machine is visible under "Account -> Manage Systems" and also "Sites" menu. However it is not visible under "Systems -> Systems" and also keeps sending me notification "There was an error retrieving the notification." I have tried to go through logs etc. however I cant find the problem. Can anyone tell me what seems to be the problem. Funny thing is that I have a debian server in the same network and I do not have any problems with it. UPDATE: nvm, found the problem, I have gone over the device limit. It would be nice if the notification would also tell t…

  8. I am trying to configure Pulseway on my Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS machine, but I'm having issues getting it to recognise systemd services. The services I want to monitor are smbd, plexmediaserver and clamav-freshclam. Regardless of what configuration I use, none of these services are even recognised by Pulseway let alone monitored. I have also tried setting each service as "NONE", "UPSTART" and "SYSVINIT" but nothing seems to work. The strange part is that ssh is monitored despite the fact that it's configuration is identical to the others. Here is a screenshot of my configuration: Can someone please help me out here? Is there something I'm missing? …

  9. Hello there, I was in the process of configuring my Pulseway agent on a VPS running Ubuntu Server 20.04 and I ran in this interesting bug. Even using the sample config provided by the agent, uncommenting the Ping Responses bloc throws this error in the log, and prevents the service from starting. vps pulseway: Starting Pulseway Daemon version 6.5 (2019082205) vps pulseway: Configuration: Values for 'Milliseconds' attribute at 'PingResponse' node 10.6.0.53(1) should be between 1 and 1000 vps systemd: pulseway.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE The PingResponse bloc in /etc/pulseway/config.xml looks like this: <Ping…

  11. Hi. I have a CentOS machine that I've been trying to get pulseway working on. I could not find anyone having the same problem. I have successfully installed pulseway, or at least the system thinks so. I edited the config file and removed the sample text from the name. However, when I attempt to start pulseway, the terminal gives me no indication of success or failure. However, when I check the systemctl logs, it claims that pulseway failed to start because of a missing file. I searched for the file, and it was indeed there. Can anyone help me with this? Here's what it says: "delta systemd[11600]: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/sbin/pulsewayd: No s…

  14. I have installed the latest Pulseway agent onto a newly installed Ubuntu server and after a couple of issues getting the server registered i was able to do so, this was due to it not having a config.xml file after intallation I renamed the config.xml.sample and added my details and this now shows in my dashboard. Now that the server is showing in the dashboard it keeps dropping on and offline. The server has a stable internet connection and a windows 10 machine on the same network is not having an issue with dropouts. Any ideas as to what could be causing the issue are welcome.

    I have set it up and it works. But it keeps going offline. The fact that it works temporarily indicates its not an issue with my router settings. I do have a proxy set up on Unraid but that is through a docker container which only applies to certain programs. I have tried disabling it and is still has the same issue. No VPN set up.
