I am testing PC Monitor out on my home network. Everything is going well, except I cannot seem to get stats for eth0 on my Linux machines. All other data (CPU, Disk, etc) is showing just fine for the two Ubuntu 12.04 systems, only network data is absent.

 

I followed the install guide from this forum and edited the config file appropriately (I think). What am I doing wrong? Can anyone confirm they get network data on Ubuntu 12.04? My config and ifconfig output are below.

 

Thanks,

Brian

This features will be added in the next releases for the native agent. You can use the old (java based) one to monitor network interfaces for now.

Thanks for the reply Calin. Is there an anticipated release date for the native agent?

I provide a backup service to clients and am using Pulseway to monitor a linux Server on a Client Site.

Attempting to monitor Internet latency to specific sites does not seem to work. See screen capture of confix.xml file

 

In the config.xml file I used the following option <PingResponse>

 

<PingResponse Address="www.dyn.com" Milliseconds="1" Minutes="15" PriorityOnSlowResponse="1" PriorityOnNoResponse="1" Alias="Printer" Enabled="false"/>

 <PingResponse Address="www.opendns.com" Milliseconds="1" Minutes="10" PriorityOnSlowResponse="0" PriorityOnNoResponse="0" Alias="Router" Enabled="false"/>

 

I set the timeout to 1 millisecond to try to force the notification

 

In a Windows Machine I used the following option

Notifications > Ping with following info

 

Computer/Device                                   Condition

ww.dyn.com                                            > 100ms for 1 minute

www.opendns.org                                   > 100ms for 1 minute

 

The Windows Config works but the Linux one not.

 

Am i using the correct option in the Linux Config.xml file.

 

By the way an awesome product which I have been using for the last year, having purchased the required licenses from South Africa Reseller

Hi,

 

It seems that you forgot to set the Enabled switch to true. Try with the following lines:

<PingResponse Address="www.dyn.com" Milliseconds="1" Minutes="15" PriorityOnSlowResponse="1" PriorityOnNoResponse="1" Alias="Printer" Enabled="true"/>
<PingResponse Address="www.opendns.com" Milliseconds="1" Minutes="10" PriorityOnSlowResponse="0" PriorityOnNoResponse="0" Alias="Router" Enabled="true"/>

Regards,

Chris
