twittemb Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi guys, I'm new to Pulseway ans i must say that it's a great software. I'm using the Ubuntu version. I'd like to monitor (and restart if necessary) my plex media server process. I can't figure out how the config.xml "services" section works. I'm using "sudo service plexmediaserver start" to start Plex ... Can anyone help me with that issue ? Thanks Best regards, Thibault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullmem Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This is a few days old, so I don't know if you figured this out yet, but I will post this anyway. 1. Make sure your add your username and password to this line: <Account Username="" Password="" UseCustomServer="false" CustomServerAddress="" /> 2. Add your hostname to this line: <ComputerInformation Name="" Group="Default" /> 3. in the <MonitoredServices> section add the line: <Service Name="plexmediaserver" DisplayName="Plex Media Server" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="UPSTART" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true" /> If the service shows it's not started in Pulseway, then change DaemonType to SYSVINIT. a couple years ago there was a problem when Ubuntu switched to upstart. I haven't used Plex in a few years, so I don't know if they made a upstart version for Ubuntu. Newer versions of Ubuntu will run most sysv inits just fine and it doesn't hurt to try to see which one works. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space_Ghost Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I have been trying to figure this out for a wile and I finally figured it out and this seems to be the only post I can find that talks about Pulseway montering the PLEX service so I figured I would share for others trying to do the same. Set the DaemonType to SYSTEMD <Service Name="plexmediaserver" DisplayName="Plex Media Server" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSTEMD" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah96xxx Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I am having issues getting Pulseway to detect the plexmediaserver service. I have tried all of the above configurations but none have worked. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windracer Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Here's the line I use: <Service Name="plexmediaserver" DisplayName="Plex Media Server" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSVINIT" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true"/> This works for me on Ubuntu 20.10.
