hehe ok paul thanks for explanation, anyway i reinstall app on my pc and everything is ok.

This is an interesting plugin which I'm going to watch over the coming months. I've always had a problem with monitoring software in the past losing the goal post by developing ticket systems into their products (take Kaseya or Labtech for example - often a feature never used because it's over complex and ends up getting in the way of the monitoring software design). I like to see PC monitor stick to the core of what the product is all about and have all this functionality additionally available through a plugin, so I think you've done an amazing job here! Well done.

The first .NET Cloud API is available here: http://www.mobilepcm...nload/netcloud.zip

With this API you can monitor any .NET app/service cloud instance, publish details, send commands and receive notifications.
The API requires an API Key, please email us with your username and we will generate a key for you.

here is the link

@paul no problem to translate if you want

Hi

I have tested this plugin and works great! this is much better and faster than a user sends a sms or email

Just a little thing I found: To send at message you say we need a minimum of 10 characters, but in fact we need to type 11 characters to send a message :-)

I think this is the first step to begin with an incident/ticket support system that works with PCM

Thank you!

This is great, thank you Paul. Very useful.

Hello PC Monitor Users,

I would like to present my first plugin for the community. It's main purpose is to allow IT Administrators to deploy a User Support client on their computer in order to receive notifications when someone requires technical support. Main features are:
Send notifications to all devices connected to the PC Monitor account with a text long as 4000 characters.
Organise support requests by departments and priority all dinamically loaded from a xml file.
Easy to deploy in Active Directory using Group Policy Objects.
Easy to configure through registry to support multiple connections on the same PC Monitor service.
Uses modern and secure tehnologies for communication (WCF).
Easy to customize all strings using xml files.

I also attached an example version to show everyone how you can create your own plugins for this great app. Please take your time and read the 'readme.txt' file as it explains everything you need to know about installing, using and customizing the application.

My release is open-source bound by no license. That being said you can freely modify, distribute, claim as your work, sell and / or include in your copyrighted material as long as it doesn't breach PC Monitor's license or terms and conditions.

Download Link: Click (Version 1.3)

Changes since 1.2:
Changed registry reading and writing with api calls for plugin and removed registry writes for application with hardcoded defaults.

Any feedback and plugin ideas will be appreciated.

Edit: New version is scheduled at 05/03/2012.

Great stuff! Attached is screenshot of weather plugin.

PC Monitor 2.8 adds support for plugins and you will be able to:

- display additional custom information in computer details page
- run additional custom commands
- send notifications

The support for plugins is fully implemented in PC Monitor Agent 2.8 and a plugin example is also available for download here: http://www.mobilepcm...oad/netplugins.zip

This should help you fix the issue:

sounds good. Thanks Paul.

A subscription is not that bad, gives you extra computers plus gets you access to all features, including the vmware module that was just released in 2.6 . Think about how much time you save using PC Monitor, for me it's a great solution. It helped me a lot and it doesn't cost much, so in my opinion it's a win-win situation.

Hello,

I was hoping someone will request something like this. On the roadmap there is announced that a public API will be avaiable in the future, this will allow anyone to create custom applications, services, and widgets that can comunicate with PC Monitor. Oh maybe there will be a bundled widget but for that you'll need to wait for an official answer.

Awesome...nailed it!! Manual installation worked! Came right up with no issues! Thanks!

thanks, appreciate the help

This can be implemented for mobile apps and web app. For the mobile app this needs to be optimized so the code is valid for 30 mins or so after the first use (the interval can be set on the server) otherwise it can be hard to use the app if you open it many times. We will surely consider adding this.

the restore downgraded me to 2.5 and the problem was fixed - I'm now up to 2.7.1 and the fan problem has not happened again
so I don't think the fan problem was related to pcm - just an unfortunate coincidence that it happened at the same time I updated pcm

Strange - on my other pc (also Win7x64), it was the dashboard that wouldn't start (the monitor started ok)
So I uninstalled both monitor & dashboard, deleted the \pc monitor folder, hacked the registry and deleted all MMSOFT & PC Monitor keys, ran a (Norton360) registry cleanup, then re-downloaded & reinstalled both monitor & dashboard
I then had to delete the 2 "old" pcs from my account, but it's all working ok now

ps. also noticed that although the download links say version 2.7, after installing, it's actually 2.7.1

This is already implemented - "Offline since..." label is displayed for the offline computer.

Agree with some of your points and could add a few...but was trying to avoid an OS war!

It's a very good idea and we will implement a repository that can be easily accessed from within the PC Monitor Manager app with features like browse, import and publish.

This is now supported in version 2.7 beta 2 - you can download it from this forum. There is now a value condition for the service state.

We will build this value condition (if service running | not running) in the Rules.
