Linux installation and configuration

  1. 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.

  2. We are using pulse way to monitor our web server. It is unbuntu and the problem I am having is with basic configuration. I am really unsure how to tell pulseway to monitor the mysql, apache and nginx services. Could someone show me an example configuration for these services?

    I'm getting an error in the Ping status on my Linux server, running Debian 8 (Linux x86_64 3.16.0-4-amd64 according to the agent info) It says there is an error, but there are no details on what the error is. When I manually ping 8.8.8.8 from the Command Line, it works fine, both from the server itself and from the Webapp terminal. Here are the relevant lines from the config file: <!--Ping - Server: server IP address or hostname--> <Ping Server="8.8.8.8" Enabled="true"/> I checked the sample config file, which I copied and edited for my needs, and I noticed there is no </Ping> statement.

  4. Hello, Have a number of Ubuntu 16.04 workstations with agent 5.3.3 installed. The daemon starts without error (nothing logged in syslog), but doesn't appear to report back. There are 15 units at this particular site, and only one has reported back since installation. They are all running kernel 4.10.0-42. I can't find any error messages in the obvious logs (/var/log/syslog - in particular). Appreciate any direction you can offer.

  6. 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.

    Is there a way to install pc monitor on Raspberry Pi running Openelec? I can connect to the Raspberry pi via ssh but commands are limited. There’s no dpkg command nor does apt-get work. Best option of course would be a normal xbmc add-on support. Would that be possible?

  10. So, I looked around the forums a little bit to see if there was anything related to this issue and didn't have much luck. I built a new Gentoo box recently and decided to put pc monitor on it. I emerged rpm and rpm'd the rpm and it created the directory in my /etc and installed correctly (supposedly). I changed the config.xml.sample to config.xml and made the necessary changes. I believe that it is configured correctly and should be working properly but as I went to start the service with /etc/init.d/pcmonitor start I get "pcmonitor could not be found". Sure enough when I cd to that directory there is no pcmonitor, just pcmonitor.suse and another pcmonitor.<other…

    Is it possible to explore mount points on Linux machines like it is on Mac OS machines? With the Linux machines I monitor, I tab on the Hard Disks tab (in iOS app), I can view the mounts and their used/free space, but I can't tap to explore any of them. I can do that for the Mac OS machines I monitor. I don't monitor any Windows machines, but I'm assuming they have that same functionality. Looking over my config file doesn't seem to indicate I missed something, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

  22. 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
