Linux installation and configuration

  1. Started by Keith,

    We would like to be able to notify on both successful and failed logins on Linux. (Specifically Ubuntu) We see that there is a property in config.xml called "UserLogsIn" and this is exactly what we want to notify on when there is a login. What I have not found is a way to notify on a failed login. Is there a way to notify for failed Logins? If not, is there a way to notify based on the text "FAILED LOGIN" being added to auth.log? Any help would be appreciated.

  2. Good day when logging in, user priority is set at 2 and when logging out at 3. The notifications come as cricital! What am I doing wrong? <!--Send a notification when a user logs in--> <UserLogsIn Priority="2" Enabled="true" /> <!--Send a notification when a user logs out--> <UserLogsOut Priority="3" Enabled="true" />

    I am running CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) and have just installed the latest agent. The base config is done and it is visible in the console, but only to the master account (the one whose credentials are added to the config file). How do I make the system visible for all users so that they may all receive alerts and see the status of the box in the dashboard and mobile app? In Windows this is easy, but I see no way to do the same thing in the Linux config. Thanks.

  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.

    Is there a way of making new notification in the WebApp. I see in the configuration file in my linux machine there is notification rules, but it will be nice if I can change them in the webapp? PS Also I have noticed that I do not have in the WebApp menu Server Admin? I have only System from I can see my 2 machines?

  6. We recently noticed a problem with our Pulseway notifications, on one of our Linux servers that is running Cassandra. The Cassandra service had been put into the following state: Active: active (excited), unfortunately we never received notification about the excited state. I did some testing and when I manually stop the service, it shows Active: inactive (dead), I do get notifications. I am at a lose as to why I get notifications when inactive (dead) but not when it is Active (excited). This is the current configuration: <Service Name="cassandra" DisplayName="cassandra" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSTEMD" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" En…

    More as an explatory experiment than a question for production, but is it possible to run Pulseway in an LXC container, for the purposes of it monitoring the host? It seems like a reasonable question for a container (as opposed to a VM). How does Pulseway monitor a system? Is it by using proc etc? These can be "passed" in from the host, so it might be possible.

    Hello, I've made a new fresh install on a Raspberry Pi 3. I've followed the instructions of the "Install and Setup Agents / Raspbian" page. As usual. Service does not start correctly. The syslog shows raspberryXyz pulseway[854]: /usr/sbin/pulsewayd: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Any hint to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Guy

    I have a Ubuntu Linux machine that I have setup to monitor a number of network resources. One of the things I want to do is pick a few locations across VPN's to look for any latency issues. When I setup my config.xml with multiple servers, I only seem to look at the first server. Here is an example (IP's changed to protect the innocent): <!--Network--> <Network> <!--Ping - Server: server IP address or hostname--> <Ping Server="1.2.3.1" Enabled="true"/> <Ping Server="1.2.3.2" Enabled="true"/> <Ping Server="1.2.3.3" Enabled="true"/> <Ping Server="1.2.3.4…

  12. I recently installed the latest version of Pulseway on my Ubuntu 17.04 server. The service appears to be starting, and I'm not seeing any errors. However, the machine never shows up in the Pulseway app. I feel like I'm missing something simple here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    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.

    I have two Linux servers, one running Jessie, the other running DietPi. The Jessie is running on a RPi 3 with external 2TB HDD connected by USB2, the Pulseway client is installed working and monitors the drive just fine, alerts when getting too low and everything. The DietPi is running on an Odroid-XU4 board, is monitoring services with Pulseway just fine, but now I have added a 6TB external HDD to the USB3 port. I am able to get to the drive just fine, and put files on it. But I cannot monitor the drive through Pulseway. The config file is virtually identical with the RPi, with the obvious differences in name and services monitored. <LowHDDSpace>…

    Hi I run Domoticz on a Raspberry Pi and have this successfully being monitored by Pulseway. I am now also using the BA-Bridge software which runs as a java process. Can anyone tell me how to configure Pulseway to monitor this and be able to re-start it if it should fail? The process is started by having /etc/rc.local call a script that does this: nohup java -jar -Dserver.port=8090 -Dconfig.file=/home/pi/habridge/habridge.config /home/pi/habridge/ha-bridge-3.5.1.jar > /home/pi/habridge/habridge-log.txt 2>&1 & Thanks

    Hi, We got a linux (Ubuntu) System with some mounted drives form a Synology NAS. The Server has UniFi Video from Ubiquiti installed. This depends on the mount point /media/NVR as mount point. When the NAS goes down or there is an other issue where the mounted drive could not be mounted lets say on startup. I would like to receive a notification of that. How can i integrate this with Pulseway on Linux? The OS drive is not more than 30 Gb. So i could say if /media/NVR has less than 30GB of free Space I want to get a notification. But I cannot figure out how to set this up, who has done this, or knows how its done?
