Due to request I have updated the plugin to support paged view. Both projects (VB and CS) support paged view configuration.

Edit: I have fixed a mistake in the plugin. I was requiring an invalid pc monitor version. Download the new release.

Hello kurtdejaeger,
 
Welcome to the world of programming. I understand you are a beginner so I have converted your vb script into a valid PC Monitor plugin in two (visual studio compatible) programming languages so that you can see the differences between them and maybe learn a bit from them.
 
I hope that you will continue researching programming after you finish your first plugin. Also if you ever need help on creating a plugin please ask here and I will do my best to help you.
 
You will find a Release folder that contains both of the plugin versions in binary format. Both of them do the same thing.
 
Also check out API documentation that will help you get started on writing plugins. Click here.
 
Good Luck,
Paul.

Hi Doug,
 
We will be in contact with you regarding the web app configuration and help you solve the problem.

Yes. You cannot have a windows service interact with a user's sessions. Ask yourself the following questions:
 
On what user session the service should start the application? What if there are multiple user's logged in? Does a windows service really need to know about a user, afterall it's a service not an application. You want to create a scheduled task that is set to impersonate a user and start an application. You will also want to set it's schedule to manual, then invoke it from the mobile app.
 
Good luck.

Thank you, we were aware of that label in Task Manager, I thought that you have experienced slow start times on your Windows 8...
  The User Agent app uses 300 ms CPU and 11.5 MB Disk I/O on startup. After commenting all the code in the app start call the app it is still using 200 ms CPU and 7.8 MB Disk I/O and it's still being reported as High usage. It's a .NET app, maybe that's the reason.   Looks like there's no way to reduce this further but you can use the PC Monitor Manager settings to disable it if you wish.  

Well anyone with Windows machines is aware of this problem. If you find it annoying just disable windows update notifications on all machines but one so in this way you will know when Microsoft pushed updates to production and then you can issue group windows update commands.

Hello,

As I am a big fan of home made backup scripts, my servers have a lot of scheduled tasks running at different hours, however I have some windows where no backup is running. During this time I can perform maintenance tasks like windows updates, restarts.

I would like to have ,if possible, the Start time displayed on each Scheduled Task and a sorting feature similar to the Process page that can allow me to sort by Name or Start Date.

Any feedback on this idea?

Great one Paul - we will be add support for Azure management and monitoring, thanks!

Speaking of which I have a brilliant idea I must share: Azure Cloud Monitoring and Management. Technology changes and we must change too. People are moving their servers into the cloud so we should be able to monitor the cloud too.
 
Imagine the possibility of being notified if a virtual machine has reached it's limits or checking your usages right from your mobile phone.

Yes true or:
 
Get-WmiObject -Query "SELECT * FROM win32_service WHERE startmode='auto'"
 
Still not as quick as listing it in the PC Monitor GUI and making the column header "Startup Type" sortable as the Services mmc does in Windows.

Thanks, I think that resolved it.  I had seen that thread earlier, but I thought it was only for situations where the CPU usage wasn't being reported at all.  Thanks for the help!

Hi Raf,
 
If you delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\ComputerName entry in the master image before that image is distributed the PC Monitor agent will display the default computer name. You can try deleting the entry on one of the production servers to see the result.
 
Hope this helps.

I restarted my computer and got it to work w/o a problem following your direction.  Thanks!

I have updated the first post with a link to the new plugin. Thank you for your patience, I apreciate it.

I've finished implementing implementing the new plugin version however I am not officially releasing it until I've done enough testing and I would like to add firewall monitoring too.
 
Here is the BETA version that contains some new API features, correct notification messages and the ability to enable and disable overall plugin notifications from the mobile client. It requires Agent Version 3.4.1+.

In late January, tried to download and could not. Indeed already working. Awesome! Thank you.

I found an interesting use w/ the Ping notification (with help of another in the forum) feature of PC Monitor.  I am currently using it to monitor the "ON/OFF" status of my WDTVs, net connected TVs and android phones in my wifi network.
 
I basically setup my wifi router to assign monitored devices with specific IP based on individual MAC address.  It is easier to deal w/ IPs than the resolved network name since not all devices can resolve to a name on the network.  After that, you can setup these IPs in the Ping notification entries in PC Monitor and assign them appropriate alias such as "Living Room TV" etc.  You will then get notification when these devices go online and offline.
 
WIth the same approach, you can setup your kid's phone / laptop the same way and monitor them via pinging.  Most kids these days are tied to their phones so their phone's ON/OFF ping status would tell you whether they are home or not.  
 
Just thought I would share.

I will implement multi-server functionality on the next version. You should expect a new version during this week.

Hello,
 
Take a look at this thread http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/661-offline-notification/?hl=offline

You can enable ping notifications between your workstations so if one is down you get an alert from the other one.

It would be really useful to have a network Interface notification if the status changes from Up to Down or vice versa. In particular I have a couple of clients who use Microsoft RRAS VPN demand dial interfaces and although I can view these in PC Monitor and see the status and network usage graph, being able to be notified if they are down would be great.

We are in the alpha stage with the Remote Control feature and it's working really well. No other ports will need to be opened in the firewall, it will just work over https.
 
This feature will be first available to Enterprise Server customers and as soon as we enter the beta stage it will be available for testing.

Hello Jonah,
 
Try importing it manually:
 
Run mmc.exe File -> Add / remove snap-in. Double click on Certificates from the left list On the popup select Computer Next -> Finish -> Ok Double click on certificates item from the mmc window. Double click on Personal Category. Select Certificates item From menu, select Actions -> All actions -> Import Try importing the certificate using that wizard. Make sure you mark the key as exportable.
 
Hope this helps,
Paul.

Most likely because the mobile app installation ID has changed - this happens after a reinstall. In most cases the new ID is being updated automatically on all agents but sometimes we cannot detect the reinstall and you have to manually do this.

Further to this I had Windows 8 running in Bootcamp on my Mac Book pro so installed the app on here and it worked fine.
 
Today I have installed the newest NVidia drivers on my PC so have gone from 306.97 to 310.70 and now the application is working fine.
 
I guess its fairly safe to assume that the problem is related to graphics drivers and that hopefully the issue is resolved as drivers are updated.
