Linux installation and configuration

  1. Hey all, Recently installed Pulseway on various machines to get our monitoring up and running. Everything has worked out so far with the exception of Linux services. I saw some past posts about them not working at one point, but a follow up thread seemed to indicate they should be expected to work now. In my case, I'm running PostFix for mail, and I have included this line in my config.xml: <Service Name="postfix" DisplayName="PostFix Mail Service" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSVINIT" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true"/> However, the portal displays this service as stopped. I also tried UPSTART for the daemon type, even thoug…

  2. In order to upgrade to the latest version of Pulseway, I'm following the removal instructions for the old version as per this thread: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/1079-linux-agent-manual-upgrade/ after running the command "dpkg --remove pcmonitor" It outputs "dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching pcmonitor" Am I missing something? Its been ages since I've install this into my Ubuntu 12.04 server so I'm not sure how I actually installed it. There doesn't seem to be any entry relating to "pcmonitor" under synaptec either. However I can still see everything going on within the app on my Android phone. The app still responds and notifies…

    Hi, I installed pulseway in my linux, configured everything and installed also in my iPhone / iPad. 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

    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 was deploying the agents to a very large amount of linux clients (various flavours), we have a chef infrastructure in place so decided to leverage this. I have created a cookbook that gets the latest download .deb or .rpm and install it and configures the config.xml. You can use chef to set all the various options via attributes. feel free to use https://github.com/py-man/chef-pcmonitor and modify. cheers

  9. Hello there! I had three Linux systems monitored and everything worked fine untill yesterday. Then one raspbian was reported offline around noon, other some time later, and when I booted old laptop with Debian it reported coming online on my iphone, only to go offline few minutes after that. All machines were online all the time, only pcmonitor service stopped working and can not be started. Funny thing is that when I start it again it appears to actually work for few seconds before dying again. I can see that because iphone app says that system went offline few seconds ago. Besides that I montiror one Windows 7 PC and I have no problems with that. I haven…

  13. I am attempting to install pulseway on my raspberry pi 3b+, and have downloaded and installed the correct file from the pulseway website, and made sure that my openssl libraries are up to date and correctly setup. I followed through with the given installation instructions and repeatedly the pulseway service is unable to be started. When executing the command sudo systemctl start pulseway, the command works and presents no errors. Upon checking the app or the list of all services, however, pulseway is not shown as a service and there is no devices connected to the app. See the attached images for the output of sudo systemctl status pulseway

    We have a cPanel server using centos7 as based system, all monitors are fine except the hard disks seems can't detect any local drives and always shows "Data not available" as result. We do have other centos7 based system that runs pulseway and can detect all hard disks and mounting points as well. Do we have to enable any service for pulseway to detect the hard disks? Or there is some failure on system? Thank you. P.S. below is the result when runs df -h on the problematic server: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/cl-root 50G 19G 32G 37% / devtmpfs 16G 0 1…

  15. Hi, I installed Pulseway Agent on my RPI like they said on the Website. I went to the "config.xml" and entered my Username and Password. When I now go back to the Website it just showes "No systems monitored. Download and install the agent on the systems you want to monitor." I did everything like they said on the Website. I also googled and found out you have to install some SSL stuff, so I typed the command they said on the forum (sudo apt-get install ca-certificate) and the Console just says, that the Package "CA-Certificate" could not be found. What did I do wrong?

    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.

    I've been noticing some issues with pcmonitor either failing to start or crashing on my router. Linux i686 2.6.32-5-untangle-686 I'm not sure exactly what is causing this, all the windows clients are great. For some reason the process will either just die or sometimes it won't start with the computer. Untangle NG is a firewall distro that is based on debian.
