    PC Monitor Logging (windows)

    in General

    Posted · Edited by Paul

    Hello,

    All logs are saved ON DEMAND, by manually activating diagnosting logging. You can enable Diagnostic Logging from Settings tab and Diagnostics subtab. Doing so PC Monitor will start writing log details to a file called trace.log that can be found in the PC Monitor installation folder.

    While writing a plugin you can add base.Trace("Message") or just Trace(string) in your code and it will show up in Diagnostic Logging. The only way of debugging your code is by not writing a Plugin but a Cloud Instance, this way you don't have to use PC Monitor's agent and you can embed all PC Monitor's functionality into a standalone application

    Here is a really nice tutorial on how to work with Cloud API: http://www.mobilepcm...netcloudapi.php

    And here is the Plugins tutorial: http://www.pulseway.com/netclientapi.php

    If you want some examples you can look at the plugins forum: http://forum.mobilep...ows-client-api/ as most of the releases out there are opensource.

    Good luck,

    Paul.

    Session Control Plugin 1.3

    Hello

    Again that is not a MAC address, the address bellow is an IPv6 address. MAC addresses 6 bytes separated by a dash (-). Also you are seeing them as guest or home user because your sharing settings is set to Guest authentication and you have Home sharing activated which shares your media library.

    I will see if I can resolve the IP address into a NETBIOS name. I will post the results of this experiment soon.

    Port trigger notification

    Hello,

    You can write a plugin to send an email if multiple sessions are detected, however on a workstation machine I'm not sure how to achieve this as all RDP are limited to one session. For the FTP monitoring it's difficult for PC Monitor to know what other application is doing, the best approach is to make your FTP server write to window's Event Log and then have PC Monitor scan for that particular event id. If it doesn't support that try making it log to file only when somebody connects to your server then have a plugin monitor that file and have it notify you.

    If you need some help or you don't know where to get started with PC Monitor plugins why not check out the tutorial located here.

    Good Luck,

    Paul.

    ...there was no endpoint listening at

    in Windows

    This would mean that you cannot access any secure website because of some firewall rule blocking your navigation, this is very odd to see defaulted inside a router configuration. Does your router support outbound firewall rules? If so create a rule to allow zone navigation from LAN -> WAN through HTTPS(443). If it doesn't support outbound firewall rules try to see if nothing else is blocking the connection, new windows firewall policy, or some weird application that blocks your access.

    So the steps would be:

    • Check if the router has a firewall that blocks you.
    • Check if the computer has a firewall or a program that's preventing your navigation, (Try navigating to a secure website from your phone, see what happens)
    • Try switching the router back, does it solve your problem?

    Good Luck,

    Paul.

    Hello,

    I've found the problem and will be fixed on the next release. The bug is only on Pre-Vista Operating Systems.

    Tomorrow I will release 1.2 .

    Thank you for your patience,

    Paul.

    Edit: First post updated with version 1.2 .

    Hosting options for Mobile PC Monitor Enterprise

    in Installation & Configuration

    Posted · Edited by Paul

    I don't currently own any Enterprise servers however I think you can host it in a VPS too and exponentially cut the costs. Not really sure if this applies to your case however you can try asking for some free trials at some various hosting companies and see the result. I consider 50$ a bit much for a restrictive instance with 30 monitored pcs.

    Yubikey support

    in Feature Requests

    Hello,

     

    This could only work if it would be used as a two factor auth support along with the standard passphrase PC Monitor authentication system. It could be nice if you would be able to choose with two factor authentication system you want to use. I did look over their API and it seems that's fairly easy to work with it's just a web api to call and see if the OTP is valid, action which PC Monitor's server should take. Just one question, when you touch the button on your YubiKey how will you get the OTP? It will appear on some application you install or you need to have an application that need to talk with it, just like a dongle?

     

    Let's see what others have to say.

    I am sorry to hear that you're having problems with my plugin. Please enable Diagnostic Logging from Settings tab and Diagnostics subtab. Doing so PC Monitor will start writing log details to a file called trace.log that can be found in the PC Monitor installation folder.

    Please copy and paste any errors that are shown there in a reply over here so I can check it out.

    Thank you.

    Session Control Plugin 1.3

    in Windows Client API

    Posted · Edited by Paul

    I am sorry but the API doesn't expose such feature, if you want I can add on the opened file details page an email button however this would work if:

    1. I add email configuration to the plugin configuration form and you will have to configure it in order for it to work.
    2. PC Monitor's API is getting changed to expose email sending methods.

    I'm going to wait for a response from MMSoft to see what they think of this and I will post back with the results.

    PS: Also if you would like to email to someone that is not pre-configured in the plugin's configuration form you will have to wait until API v3 will get released as it will include input boxes which will make it possible for you to write the email address you want to send.

    Hello,

    I looked over your case and you can do a batch script (using this tutorial) then you create a schedueled task that runs manually and calls your script and writes to a file, so you can read - email it to your mobile device / or you can have it print out to the console and call it from the terminal using the mobile client.

    Hello Nick,

    I am sorry to hear that your having problems with my plugin. Please enable Diagnostic Logging from Settings tab and Diagnostics subtab. Doing so PC Monitor will start writing log details to a file called trace.log that can be found in the PC Monitor installation folder.

    After it's enabled please try to browse the opened files by nick and then copy and paste the resulting log file here in a reply or in a personal message, this way I will be able to understand more what's going on.
