Hey all,

 

Recently installed Pulseway on various machines to get our monitoring up and running.  Everything has worked out so far with the exception of Linux services.  I saw some past posts about them not working at one point, but a follow up thread seemed to indicate they should be expected to work now.

 

In my case, I'm running PostFix for mail, and I have included this line in my config.xml:

<Service Name="postfix" DisplayName="PostFix Mail Service" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSVINIT" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true"/>

However, the portal displays this service as stopped.  I also tried UPSTART for the daemon type, even though I believe SYSVINIT to be the correct type.  Has anybody had any success with this?

Hi,

 

 

Just tested now on CentOS 6 with :

 

<Service Name="postfix" DisplayName="Postfix Service" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSVINIT" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true"/>

 

and works as expected.

 

Please send an email to support@pulseway.com with your config file and output of the following:

 

cat /proc/cpuinfo

uname -a

openssl -v

ldd --version

 

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for the response.  It appears my config file is correct then.  Is there any way I can verify what the agent is checking (a log or something)?  Checking the status of the service seems fine (see below), and this box is very vanilla.  I haven't configured postfix in any sort of strange way.  It's just the package installed from apt.

 

$ sudo service postfix status
* postfix is running
