Would you consider Microsoft Azure MFA? Some of us use O365 accounts with MFA already for email and other.

Hi MMSOFT,
 
Pulseway can already send us a notification "when critical or important updates are available".
But we would like to be able to specify a time period in days, before we get a notification
 
We have an other mecanism/script that installs Windows updates, but we would like to use the pulseway notication as fallback. 
So basicly we would like to enter a number of days, so the the search for available updates ignores updates released within the last X days.
 
At the same time it would be nice to change the Windows update search criteria string
 
Defaults could be someting like:
 
string: IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and IsHidden=0 days: 14  
Any thoughts about this?
 
 
Best Regards,

Hi Paul,
Internally we have 70-100 workstations that has bitlocker enabled. Plus that an increasing number of our customer are using bitlocker.
Several times every month end users are reporting that they are prompted for bitlocker recovery password at boot.
When we are at the office is it simple for us to log on to the domain controller at find the password. But if the request comes when we are offsite or outside business hours, it would be very helpful to look up the password in Pulseway on the domain controllers AD server module, and sendt it by email or text message.
Of course we can make a script, but it would be more convenient if the password could be looked up and sendt from Pulseway.
We could also solve it by writing our own plugin. But here we are missing the option of sending a text as mail/sms/share from the Pulseway app.

Hey Martin,
You are not the only one looking for this and this feature just might come in when we're adding support for 3-rd party patch management next year.

Hi Martin,
I did look into this and Windows APIs do not provide you with the information on who triggered the power event. It can be hardware triggered, it can be triggered through a software via the API, it can be a user signed into the console session or it can be one of the remote desktop sessions which are active. Guesswork will not be a great approach for this.

This is on our todo list for the automation module 2.0 when we'll be adding event based triggers. It also comes with a tag editor to make it simpler to edit tags on machines.
-Paul

I've added this to our todo list, we will definitely add support for it!

Hi Martin,
This is still on our backlog for the SQL server module. As soon as we touch that module we'll be adding this notification too .
-Paul

I agree that this is a must-have for RD auditing. We'll most likely be adding a report to include the RD activity. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Paul.
I found it myself:
void SendNotificationToAllDevices(string message, NotificationPriority priority, bool allowMultipleNotifications, string notificationIdentifier)
Are there any more hidden gems, not mentioned in the docs?

Hi there,
Not yet but we're planning on supporting alert triggers for automation tasks which will work pretty much like the task scheduler works on a windows machine. It's going to be awesome.
-Paul

It would be nice if we could set up dynamic tags.
Devices could have tags added/removed based by rules, like:
does one or more files (from a list) exist on the device does one or more registy entries (from a list) exist on the device does one or more applications (from a list) exist as installed applications on the device. Of course it should be possible to use wildcards :-)

Wuhu .... The future is here!
Thank you very much for this long time expected feature!

I guess the shutdown would always be triggered by som user.
Often it is a real user, but sometimes it could be SYSTEM or NETWORK SERVICE.

Please add support for the more recent Azure Resource Manager deployment model for virtual machines. Currently only the classic model is supported, so virtual machines on my Azure subscription are not visible. 

Hi,
 
Welcome to the Pulseway community! Yes, we plan on adding support for Google Authenticator on top of our Two Step Authentication via Email. There are no plans at this moment for SAML support however this is a great idea and we've added it on our list.

Hi Martin,
Thanks. I've pushed this into our todo list. It will be picked by the development team and we'll notify you when this is implemented.

Have you looked in to this?
It looks like a very easy quickfix for you, and would help us a lot.
Put two new options in SQL Server config. One for how old a full/differential backup is allowed to be, and one for how old the log backup is allowed to be.
Then loop through the databases (except tempdb)  and check for last backup time for all databases and last log backup for databases not in "simple" recovery mode.
Last full or differential backup (for model db as an example)
SELECT TOP (1) database_name, backup_finish_date FROM msdb.dbo.backupset WHERE (type IN ('D', 'I')) AND (database_name = N'model') ORDER BY backup_finish_date DESC Last log backup (for model db as an example)
SELECT TOP (1) database_name, backup_finish_date FROM msdb.dbo.backupset WHERE (type = 'L') AND (database_name = N'model') ORDER BY backup_finish_date DESC You could also look at the databases create time, so we don't get notified because the first backup hasn't run yet.

I guess the shutdown would always be triggered by som user.
Often it is a real user, but sometimes it could be SYSTEM or NETWORK SERVICE.
 

I guess it is not supported.
Consider it a feature request.

Hi,
 
Is it posible to return a graph from a plugin?
I am interested in returning value in a graph like the one used in CPU, Memory, etc.
 
Br, Martin.

You could monitor Event Log for event id 1020 and send notification

Hi,
 
I am new to PC Monitor, but it look to me that it is only possible to add management of one SQL Server instance pr. computer.
Is that right? And if so ... is support for multiple instances on the list of upcoming futures? It would be very nice, because we have several servers with multiple SQL instances.
