Hey!
 
I actually solved this an hour after my original question. For some reason installing ca-certificates didn't install any certs. I had to copy our CA's root certificates to /etc/pki/trust/anchors/ and then run update-ca-certificates. This created the needed links in to /etc/ssl/certs/.
 
Now it works, thanks!




 

In order to manually upgrade the Pulseway agent to the latest version, the old version need to be removed first:
rpm -e pcmonitor or dpkg --remove pcmonitor
 
Check if pcmonitord process is still running:
ps auxw | grep pcmonitord
 
Kill the process if it is still running:
killall pcmonitord
 
Install the new version:
rpm -Uhv pulseway_xXX.rpm
or
dpkg -i pulseway_xXX.deb
 
Start the pulseway service:
/etc/init.d/pulseway start

I have to say support is excellent here. I'll be life customer as long as product stays affordable like it is now.

Hi,

Under performance notifications it would make sense if you monitors the Page File Usage.

To day we can set up a performance counter notification, but it would make sense to add it to the cpu/memory section.

Here is an example of the current performance counter notification we do configure.

Category: Page File
Instance: _Total
Counter: % Usage
Counter Value is: Greater than
Value: 80
For: 5 minutes
Priority: Elevated

You need to forward UDP 9 in your router:
 
Refer to www.portforward.com

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.

Great update. It now Works under 8.1 just perfectly, thanks.

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

Thank you Tom,
 
we are investigating this and will include a fix on the next release.

You could manually install the service.
 
Installing PC Monitor Service:
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Files\PC Monitor\PCMonitorSrv.exe" Extract from manual installation guide.

Hello Paul, i found the solution: PC Monitor cannot connect the Vcenter from Windows XP or 2003 Server, but with Windows 7 or 2012 Server, there is no problem. Thank you! Markus

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).

Update: We have released Windows Agent 4.1.2 that adds support for Zendesk:
http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/1008-create-zendesk-tickets-with-pc-monitor/

You can try and delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\ComputerIdentifier  value on one of the computers.

:-) That's not supported yet, we will implement this in a future release. 
 
The positive here is that it is effective

Supported Linux Distributions
Debian based: Debian 6 or newer and Ubuntu 12.04 or newer RPM based: CentOS 6 or newer, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or newer, Oracle Linux 6 or newer, Fedora 16 or newer Choosing  the right package
 
First step when installing is to choose the right package from http://www.pulseway.com/downloads. You should consider your Linux distribution (debian or rpm based) and if you have a 32 or 64 bit machine.
To determine the latest use the Linux command: 
uname -m If the result of this command is something like i386,i586 or i686 then it's a 32bit machine if it's x86_64 then it's a 64bit machine.
 
Installing
Now , that you have downloaded the right install package you have to use one of 2 commands depending on the Linux distribution:
dpkg -i <package name>.deb or
rpm -ihv <package name>.rpm If all went well now you should have Pulseway installed on the machine. You should configuring the machine by creating a /etc/pulseway/config.xml file  using the sample located at /etc/pulseway/config.xml.sample
 
Example
We will provide two examples , first will be a Debian 6 32 bit machine and the second a Fedora 17 64 bit machine

Ok, thanks, I'll let you know.

Thank you, we will consider this.
 
Update: We are planning to add the ZenDesk integration in the next release.

thanks!

Hello,
 
Sadly most of the products that are famous on the market do not offer an API so other applications can integrate the functionality. For instance GPU-Z and CPU-Z API is not free for comercial use.
 
PC Monitor updates it's supported hardware with every release so be sure to check from time to time to see if you get more sensor data on your chipset.
 



 
Paul.

Update: We have released a new Windows Agent and the Audit report should start appearing on the mobile device.
The audit report includes all the info with the exception of OS Key - for privacy reasons this is stored on the server only if you host your own Enterprise server.

sfc /scannow did not detect any corruption. However I was able to fix the issue using the same command. I renamed the ntdll.dll file and then ran sfc /scannow to force the system to create a new ntdll.dl file. I then repair installed pcmonitor. 
 
Thanks

Hi Paul,
 
the plugin working perfect on a Windows 2003 Server, but not on one of my 2008R Servers (with all MS patches) - any idea?

Hi everyone,
Use this plugin to open up a local WCF using net pipes so that a console application can use it to sent notifications to Pulseway. Using this solution you can easily send Pulseway notifications from your scripts.
Version 1.3
=Installation=
Add the NotificationBridgePlugin.dll plugin into Pulseway Manager -> Plugins. Configure your scripts to call NotificationBridge console application. =Usage=
-p (Priority: 0=Low, 1=Normal, 2=Elevated, 3=Critical) -t (Text message, use double quotes if the message includes a space) -f (Include the text from a file) -r (Allow repeating notifications) Exit Codes:
0 - Notification was successfully forwarded to Pulseway 1 - Notification was rejected by Pulseway (Maintenance mode, Old notification was not deleted, Pulseway is stopped. As always my plugin is open-source bound by no license. You may claim it your own.

Hi,
 
We've working on an API for reporting and adding more reports like Uptime and Asset / Audit.
