Performance - Page File Usage
+1 for this. I would like to see this too in PC Monitor without having to add a performance counter.

dashboard on other systems
The only possible way I can come up is by connecting with a remote desktop or a similar application to a windows instance with the dashboard app installed. Or maybe run a virtual machine inside that linux box with a minimalist windows xp just for the dashboard.

offline systems
As far as I remember all offline notifications I receive come up as Critical Notifications.

How can I view desktop screens of PC
At this moment PC Monitor only supports viewing the main screen. It was already announced to be on the roadmap here: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/995-req-screens-all-monitors-pcm-service/#entry4089 Paul.

Maintenance mode
You can add notes for monitored systems using all mobile clients however the duration of the maintenance mode is being reported anywhere.

REQ: Auto Status Removal
On android you don't have app badges that indicated notification count. To clear the notification count make sure you acknowledge each notification (just open it) and the notification count will decrease.

PC Monitor Config Plugin v1.1
The problem was not the operating system but some monitored values did not exist in the registry and apparently the plugin didn't like that.

Terminal - Run as user
Most plugins are open source (at least mine), feel free to reuse any code you may find on these forums. Also there are some plugin examples and documentation available here: http://www.pulseway.com/api

Terminal - Run as user
You could do the following: Create a scheduled task that you configure it to run manually (no schedule) and to impersonate a user then you can execute the scheduled task on demand from PC Monitor You can create a plugin that can execute processes as a user (sample: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/782-create-plugin-in-visual-studio-vb/#entry3264)

You need to forward your WoL port in your router so that the Wake command can reach your offline computer.

Hardware Details not available
Sadly dell uses proprietary API to manage it's sensors and doesn't expose just like all other brands to the standard sensor library. I've seen similar issues with some proliant servers from HP too.

Payin for PC monitor
It is a free trial of 30 days so you can experience all of the 'premium' features. Then it will fallback on the free-for-non-commercial subscription that is free for ever and allows you to monitor up to five computers. PC Monitor is awesome .

Group Policy Not working
Hello Matthew, GroupPolicy settings are only applied at service runtime and are not reflected in the PC Monitor Manager on the target machine. This is also covered in the user manual: http://www.pulseway.com/manual

Event ID Monitoring Packages / Suggestions
As far as I'm concerned I like to keep my notifications to a minimum and I only monitor a handful of event ids on my machines. I don't think this is a bad idea tho, but it would help if people would share the event id's they are looking for to see bundled into PC Monitor: Example of event ids: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/887-events-in-event-viewer/ http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/760-event-log-monitoring/ http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/117-event-log-notifications/ http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/1007-event-logs/ http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/213-event-log-filter-random/ http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/82-smart-status/

Commands understanding
Shutdown instructs the operating system to close all applications and shutdown. Power Off kills the entire system (similar to cutting power to the machine). This operating may cause hardware damage. Hibernate will instruct the operating system to save all RAM to the DISK and then power off. Suspend saves the operating system current status and goes into low energy consumption mode but it doesn't power off the machine. Enter / Exit maintenance mode controls the notification system. If maintenance mode is active that machine will not send any notifications until maintenance mode is disabled. There is no reset function however you can send a Restart function which will properly shutdown and restart your operating system (and if configured will force the restart command, forcing all applications to close [loosing all unsaved data] but it guarantees that the machine will actually reboot).

Support for vSphere 5.5
Hello Markus, PC Monitor already supports vSphere 5.5. Have you encountered any trouble with it?

Automated Automatic updates
Well first of all you don't need to login to apply updates, PC Monitor doesn't require any logging it, right? Also I would never allow automatic updates on a production windows server machine. Mainly because of the unpredictable problems that may appear. In two years of my IT Administrator history I've lived to see Windows Server 2003 critical IIS update that 'forgot to start IIS back after the update' or a service pack for SQL Server 2012 that literally killed the application itself and I could go on with a few more. Always apply all updates by hand and always triple check overall system functionality after an update restart. If you would like to automatically install windows updates why not enable automatic updates in windows? That will only install important updates.

Is there any limit to what I can code in .NET
Anything that is supported in a .NET you can put into a plugin and it will work. I am very curious about your plugin that caused the Web Application not to load, can you share with us what did you do? Paul.

Dell OpenManage Server Reporting / Alerting
Hello techtripp, Since Dell OpenManage is closed proprietary software with no public API available there isn't much I can do here. They only expose a CLI application which is useful for some scripts that help you automate maintenance tasks. The only possible way would be to parse the output from the CLI application which is a horror story in the world of programming.

AVG Firewall Config
You must add PCMonitorSvc.exe to the safe application list and allow connection to ws0->ws20.pulseway.com (ws0,ws1,ws2,...,ws19,ws20). Paul
