Can't link server with Pulseway

[cross]

Hey,

 

I use PCmonitor, I mean now is Pulseway (terrible name btw ) for 2 years ? More less. I had only one time configure config and it was on fedora 17 , config of PCmonitor. I had to make clean install of Fedora 20 so it's about time to reinstall old PCmonitor to pulseway. So I did. It should be easy but.. I quess it's not. I configure whole config, add username and password usually stuff, started the service systemctl start pulseway.service chkconfig pulseway on .. and? Nothing. I don't see my computer in my account any of my smartphone.. what could be the problem?

Hi,

Please check your log for any possible error or your config file.

I did. Here is log provide by fpaste service. I forgot I can use it too : http://ur1.ca/hw09y

 

Ok fixed / There was problem with Monitoring Service section. I deleted few of them and Now it works

 

But I can understand why in ssh section of monitored service I made 

 

 

<Service Name="ssh" DisplayName="SSH Daemon" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="UPSTART" Path="/usr/sbin/sshd" StartParameters="systemctl start sshd.service" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true"/>

<Service Name="ntpd" DisplayName="NTPD Process" IsDaemon="false" DaemonType="NONE" Path="/usr/sbin/ntpd" StartParameters="-p /var/run/ntp/ntpd.pid -g -u ntp:ntp -i /var/lib/ntp -c /etc/ntp.conf" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false"/>

 

I gave ISDaemon cus SSHD is a Deamon and  gave parameter that CanBeStopped and in pulseway it shows only "start" option. Can't be stopped ?

 

Please give some  Tags in config explaination because I'm doing like in the examples and in MonitoreService section I can write properly tag for ssh service monitoring.

 

I have something like this: sie 01 22:33:39 sonic pulseway[27138]: Configuration: Value for 'Name' attribute 'Service' node is invalid

[Mark]

Hi,

 

Reading your logs, looks like there is an issue with your config file:

 

sie 01 16:50:02 sonic pulseway[7568]: Configuration: expected element name

 

Best Regards,

Hi,

 

Correct configuration for sshd service on Fedora is:

 

<Service Name="sshd.service" DisplayName="SSH Daemon" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSTEMD" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true"/>

 

Regards,

Mark

I know that but what are for the other services? Cuz I manage to write them correctly (I think) and the pulseway haven't started. :/

Why Is Deamon Type systemd? That's why there should be a manual for that

[Mark]

Hi,

 

Pulseway comming with a sample configuration file (/etc/pulseway/config.xml.sample). Please check http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/1219-sample-configxml/

You'll find there, under MonitoredServices tag, every parameter explained plus some examples:

<MonitoredServices>
<!--Name: Service name-->
<!--DisplayName: Friendly Display Name-->
<!--IsDaemon: 'true' or 'false'. 'true' if the monitored service is a daemon and 'false' if the monitored service is a process-->
<!--DaemonType: System Management daemon type: NONE or SYSVINIT or UPSTART or SYSTEMD-->
<!--Path: The path of the monitored service. This is used when the monitored service is a process-->
<!--StartParameters: Parameters used to start the monitored service. This is used when the monitored service is a process-->
<!--CanBeStopped: 'true' or 'false'-->
<!--Enabled: 'true' or 'false'-->
<Service Name="cups" DisplayName="CUPS Service" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSVINIT" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false"/>
<Service Name="ssh" DisplayName="SSH Daemon" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="UPSTART" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false"/>
<Service Name="SuSEfirewall2.service" DisplayName="SuSE Firewall Service" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSTEMD" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false"/>
<Service Name="ntpd" DisplayName="NTPD Process" IsDaemon="false" DaemonType="NONE" Path="/usr/sbin/ntpd" StartParameters="-p /var/run/ntp/ntpd.pid -g -u ntp:ntp -i /var/lib/ntp -c /etc/ntp.conf" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false"/>
</MonitoredServices>

I saw that example. But it doesn't explains why in few section is for example Path="" without any fields what does it mean that DaemonType is UPSTART SYSVINIT or Systemd. Not all services are configure the same. For example I started ntpd like in the example above And pulseway won't start, the same issue like before. So not always is like that

[Paul]

As far as I remember NTP is still not converted to UPSTART for the Ubuntu distro so you have to use SYSVINIT as DaemonType. The Path of the NTP daemon is: /usr/sbin/ntpd.
