config.xml Debian 9

[jlct021]

Which is the correct directory for the config.xml file in Debian 9 please?

/etc/pulse/ or /etc/pulseway/ (Agent installed into / etc/pulse/ by default)

Below example config isn't working /  what must we change? (Agent starts with no errors, but password remains visible and device is not showing up in Pulseway)

==============================================

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config xmlns="http://www.pulseway.com/linuxconfig">
  <!--Pulseway Linux Monitoring Agent - pulseway.com -->

  <!--Account Information
    - Username: ***
    - Password: ***
    - UseCustomServer: enable this option only if you have a dedicated Enterprise Server assigned to your account
    - CustomServerAddress: ***.pulseway.com
  <Account Username=*** Password=*** UseCustomServer=true CustomServerAddress=***.pulseway.com/>
=============================================================

Thanks

The correct configuration file name is /etc/pulseway/config.xml and it appears that you've removed the double quotes after each XML attribute. Refer to the Setup -> Guide section of the WebApp for a sample configuration for the Linux agent.

Issue remain. Using below as reference:

Pls provide a link to the Setup -> Guide section of the WebApp you referenced.

Thanks

That would be https://instanceName.pulseway.com/app/main/setup/guide but it looks like you've deleted the XML end comment marker.

This section is an XML comment and it's ignored by the Pulseway agent:

<!--Account Information
    - Username: administrator
    - Password: ***
    - UseCustomServer: enable this option only if you have a dedicated Enterprise Server assigned to your account
    - CustomServerAddress: ***.pulseway.com

However it's missing the end multi-line comment marker. It should look like this:

<!--Account Information
    - Username: administrator
    - Password: ***
    - UseCustomServer: enable this option only if you have a dedicated Enterprise Server assigned to your account
    - CustomServerAddress: ***.pulseway.com-->

Thank you, the device is now reflecting in Pulseway. The only line then that actually requires editing is:

<Account Username="" Password="" UseCustomServer="false" CustomServerAddress="" />

Yes, glad to hear everything is working well now .
