Staff Chris Posted May 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 25, 2015 In order to import a Pulseway configuration file you need to start PCMonitorManager (Pulseway Manager) from Pulseway's installation directory with the following parameters: PCMonitorManager.exe /config=C:\Configuration\NoPassword.pcmcfg If the exported configuration file contains the account details then you need to provided the configuration password as well: PCMonitorManager.exe /config=C:\Configuration\WithPassword.pcmcfg /configpassword=s3cr3tpassw0rd Note: The PCMonitorManager will not provide any console output or custom exit codes based to indicate the success of the operation.

BadCoder Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I am not able to get this to work. I export the pcmcfg file via the Gui, then attempt a import. The Gui starts, and the settings aren't the same as the configuration file. My plan is to create a script via SCCM that automatically imports the saved configure as I have seen the settings disappear at random intervals. We are running the OnPrem solution and any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris Posted June 2, 2015 Author Staff Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi, Make sure you have the Pulseway Windows agent 4.7.5 installed (check in the About tab). Regards, Chris Pulseway Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwolf1 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Is there any way to use a variable for the computer name field like %COMPUTERNAME%, so that all the computers don't end up with the same name after importing the settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris Posted July 27, 2015 Author Staff Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi, Welcome to the Pulseway community. If you don't specify the computer name variable, it will automatically use the computer name for the name field.

WPSystems Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I have a script that dumps the config file from a central storage location to c:\temp. then runs this "C:\Program Files\Pulseway\PCMonitorManager.exe" /config=c:\temp\Hyper-V2.pcmcfg /configpassword=(correctpassword) this runs the program, but the settings are not imported, I reopen the console and my old settings are there, nothing changed. I have tried manually running this from the local command prompt with administrator privileges and it still does not work. I'm running version 4.7.6 Build 704 thoughts? alternative ways of doing this? I'm trying to load templates to 250 servers on my network and its not been going very well.

gate122 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Hi all,Can anyone provide assistance on how to push a base configuration to all workstation clients via GPO or script? I got the GPO to perform the Pulseway agent install and able to applied the MST so it can authenticate to our assigned enterprise server. However, all the monitor and alert settings are default.Any help is appreciated. Edited October 9, 2015 by gate122 spelling error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Paul Posted October 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi,You can centrally manage the configuration of multiple systems through Pulseway Group Policies (not GPOs) which can be created from Pulseway Manager -> Manage Systems -> Manage Group Policies. A Pulseway Group Policy will override the local configuration however it will not overwrite it so if you disable a setting from the policy then the local configuration will take effect.You can also use GPOs to push registry patches which will work however it's a lot more work to be done. To import a registry file from command line simply run: regedit UNC_PATH\export.reg. Only overwrite the values you need.Alternatively you can have agents import their configuration from a file using the command line switches as instructed on this topic.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfranciscus Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I am having this same issue where Pulseway is not importing my configuration for some reason. Chris could you help me with this? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris Posted April 15, 2016 Author Staff Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hi, Can you PM me your arguments and the configuration file? Does Pulseway Manager import the configuration file when attempting to do it from the UI? Are you invoking the PulsewayManager app with administrative rights?

AtlNick Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Does this still work on 6.0? I can import the config via the UI but not via command line or during an unattended installation as I was doing with 5.x versions. Even though I was able to import a previous version configuration via the UI, I still tried exporting a configuration from a 6.0 install to make sure it wasn't a version compatibility issue. Thanks.
