Velkei Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 New to PW. Need to setup a notification when Internet is lost from our provider. I already have server monitoring, but need to know when the entire connection to the outside is lost. Thanks.

Administrators Paul Posted March 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi there, You can make use of the "Send a notification when the computer is offline" notification (first one on the Pulseway Manager -> Notifications -> Status tab). -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velkei Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks for your reply. I don't think that would work if the PW Manager couldn't send a notification due to Internet loss. I currently use ConnectWise Automate and they have this feature. Have any other ideas?

Administrators Paul Posted March 2, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2021 It's not the Pulseway agent that sends the notification but just informs the server that if it no longer hears from the agent after a period of time to send the offline notification. -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velkei Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 In that case, I believe the offline notification sends after 15 minutes. Is that correct? If so, is there a way to lower the threashold? 15 minutes seems like a long time to wait to discover your server is down. Thank you, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Not sure if I can piggyback on this topic but let me try. In my use case, we monitor devices on vehicles that often go to areas with no mobile reception. So I still want to send a notification, but not at the moment they become offline, preferably after a few hours or so. Now, Notifications > Status has "send a notification when the computer is offline," but we can't set a duration to hold off. Do you have any suggestion for me to give a try? Maybe I can somehow use performance monitoring with a little trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Paul Posted March 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2021 The threshold is only configurable for the Team plan. You could have it notify you only after an hour too. -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi @Paul I just realized that I have a Team plan. And yet I don't see duration setting on Server Admin > Policies > Notifications > Status (find the attached screenshot). What do I miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Paul Posted March 16, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2021 You can change the threshold from the Server Admin -> Settings page (first tab, first setting if I am not mistaken). Let me know how it goes. -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Thank you, I found it. I see the max threshold is 120 min, is there any way/plan to increase it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Paul Posted March 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 24, 2021 No way right now to increase it. Can you describe the use case of the value you're trying to set? -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus Lindberg Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi Paul  Any plans on changing the threshold from a Plan-Wide to Group-wide? Currently have a scenario where some of our customers want a different offline-interval than the plan-wide one.  Would be lovely if we could set it per group-based! -Rasmus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Paul Posted May 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi Rasmus, I can definitely see the use case for that. Can you drop it as a feature request here? We use that portal to identify which are the most pressing things we need to look at in the near future. -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
