Hi,

After servers are rebooted PC Monitor always tells us that a handful of services is not started. Most of them has the start up type "Automatic (delayed)", but other services just uses a longer time before starting up.

Could it be possible for PC Monitor to wait a few minutes before reporting failed services after a reboot? Then we could avoid a lot of ghost alerts.

Br, Martin.

We're allowing 1 minute after the PC Monitor service starts before checking for not-started services.

You can set PC Monitor as delayed start, it should fix the issue for now.

 

Thanks

Would this be the future default for the PC Monitor service when installing Pulseway?

Hi Martin,

 

We don't plan on changing Pulseway's service startup type to Automatic (Delayed Start) since it is not appropriate for the majority of cases. If this an inconvenience for your systems we recommend you perform an unattended installation then change the service startup with a powershell script:

Set-Service –Name "PC Monitor" –StartupType Automatic
Set-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PC Monitor" -Name "DelayedAutostart" -Value 1 -Type DWORD

Chris
