SamT Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Hello, Kind of a strange one here: I took over doing IT for a company that had hired a small IT firm before turning to in-house IT. The IT firm was using Pulseway to monitor our servers and workstations, but we paid for the licensing. The IT firm started to use Pulseway to monitor their other clients as well. When I took over I demanded to have access as we paid for the software and was given it, the license will expire in about 5 weeks now. They had set up some custom triggers and such that I would like to keep using without reconfiguring everything. So can I create a new account and import the old account configuration to it? Then I could strip the systems that I do not need to monitor from the new account and connect our computers to it. I had asked a Pulseway rep a while back and he assured me it could be done, but I am not seeing any obvious way to do this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Sam
Administrators Paul Posted March 20, 2017 Administrators Posted March 20, 2017 Hi Sam, You could create a new Pulseway account and then follow this guide to setup an automation task that will update the credentials on your monitored systems: You need to skip the part that activates the "Use Enterprise Server" / "Enterprise Server Name" settings. -Paul
SamT Posted March 20, 2017 Author Posted March 20, 2017 Thank you for your reply Paul. If I understand this correctly it appears all that all we would need to do is switch which account the agents are connected to? Are the custom configurations tied to the account or the the agent installed on the monitored system? Thanks, Sam
Staff Chris Posted March 22, 2017 Staff Posted March 22, 2017 Yes, you will need to switch the account with which agents are registered. Currently the agent configuration is stored on the monitored system, but in the near future they are planning to move all the configuration to the centralized database so you can manage all the settings for all your agents from the Pulseway webapp.
SamT Posted March 22, 2017 Author Posted March 22, 2017 Perfect! This will be a much simpler transition then I had anticipated. Thank you! Sam

All Pulseway settings will be exposed on the webapp (including the configuration for the Linux and macOS agent). -Paul
