Linux installation and configuration

  1. 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.

  2. Hi, I previously had PW running on a virtualized instance of Centos 7 using Nginx. For some reason communication was suspended with PW about 25 days ago. Did a chkconfig --list and showed that the agent was installed. pulseway 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off So, I decided to uninstall and reinstall (64 bit). Reverified that I had the customized XML file inside of /etc/pulseway directory (same one I used before). But I can't figure out how to start PW. Here what I've done: [root@twilight ~]# rpm -ivh http://www.pulseway.com/download/pulseway_x64.rpm Retrieving http://www.pulseway.com/download/pulseway_x64.rpm Preparing...…

    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. Most …

    Hello. I am currently running the linux/java version on my NAS, and it's working good. All I had to do was to build sigar, and copy the libsigar-arm-linux.so to /opt/pcmonitor/native/ I tried the Raspberry PI version, but that's using armhf, and my NAS is arm v5, so no hard float support. Is it possible to rebuild for armel?

  5. Hi, My current system has the following setup:- OS: CENTOS 6.5 x86_64 standard Control Panel: WHM 11.42.0 (build 23) System Type: Dedicated I was using a very old PC Monitor 2.0 installation on my system which was working fine but today i uninstalled older version and installed the latest PC Monitor 4.3 and after that my server is having reboot problem. When i select RESTART from pc monitor application on my cellphone it starts to show my server as offline after few seconds in the application. WHM/CPanel also stop working and all websites on the server also go offline. But the server is still online and i can ping it continously. It remains in that state until…

  6. 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 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?

    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.

  10. We configured a Pi2 with Pulseway and it is working fine. We cloned the SD card and changed the system name and config.xml to the new device name. They also have different ip adresses. In the Pulseway monitor they are displayed as the same device, (the name changes continue) How can we configure and see theme as seprate devices, is there u Unique identifier we have to change.

  12. 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…

  13. Hi there, I have been using Pulseway for some months now and everything was good until yesterday when I rebooted the machine the agent is running on. This machine went throught Linux updates some days before so I think this is related. What I experience is that when the service starts, reads the configuration, but after a second the daemon exits with code 11 as you can see below. ● pulseway.service - Remotely Monitor and Control IT Systems Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/pulseway.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: signal) since Sat 2019-08-03 23:42:38 WEST; 1s ago Process: 23493 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/pulsewayd --…

    I seem to be able to install the agent but not start the Pulseway service. Can anyone confirm that this agent does work on Mint 18.3? Thanks,

  16. Hi, I'm having a problem to set up a Group (Test, for example) in config.xml. After change file, the server appear in dashboard, but in a "Legacy" group. Wen I edit config.xml again, the group name is replaced to "Legacy" See bellow: Sorry, I don't speak fluently english....

  17. 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.

    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?

    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>…

Everything works great except WOL, I'm using local network so I don't need to forward ports in my router, and with the same hardware I can WOL using another programs for iOS, but I want to use Pulseway for everything. It's strange, I don't get it, need your help. Thanks
