Can0n Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) The beauty is you don’t even need to install it on your VMs you can just set your config profile in unRAID To send you an alert if pinging any of those PMs goes down that’s how I have my VM’s monitored without paying extra to Pulseway Since I am currently paying for five systems but I only need four now since I sold one of the servers that was running my third instance of Unraid Edited June 1, 2020 by Can0nfan Spelling correction Quote Link to comment
chrisjenx Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I'm surprised theres not a community plugin for this. Seems like it would be fairly popular? Quote Link to comment

It’s pretty easy to install and I think it’s possible because Pulseway is a paid service (beyond three monitored systems) that’s why there isn’t a plug-in for this 1 Quote Link to comment
Abz Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Wondering if someone may be able help or point me in the right direction. Basically I had installed pulseway but was having some issues so decided to uninstall it. Went through the process on the previous page Quote Just remove the copy and execute commands commands from your go file then Run /etc/rc.d/RV.pulseway stop to remove the config and files in command line run these: rm -rf /etc/pulseway rm -rf /var/pulseway rm -rf /boot/pulseway rm /boot/extra/pulseway.tgzp then reboot the server I modified the stop command to /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseway as it wouldn't stop with the other command and I also made sure to edit the pulseway.tgzp file name to my file name so it would delete it, which it has. But now whenever I start my server I get the following prompts and errors Verifying package ._pulseway_x64.txz. xz: (stdin): File format not recognized Unable to install ./._pulseway_x64.txz: tar archive is corrupt (tar returned error code 2) Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Just had a thought after typing all this up. I'm thinking my mac has created ._ file in its place which I also need to delete which should stop the server trying to install that file. Will try it and report back in case someone else has this issue. Edited June 10, 2020 by Abz thought of possible solution Quote Link to comment
redstonegenious Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I'm at step 6. And I cannot find the config.xml file. I assume it's supposed to show up in the pulsway folder we made earlier but that folder is empty. Edited August 14, 2020 by redstonegenious Spelling Quote Link to comment

This folder should be automatically created when pulseway is installed by steps 2/4. What's returned when you start the pulseway service manually: /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseway start Edited August 14, 2020 by PTRFRLL Quote Link to comment

Nanobug Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 How can I revert those changes I just made here? I don't want to pay a year upfront for Pulseway because I have more than 2 devices I want to run it on, so I just want to delete it again. Quote Link to comment

Just reverse all the steps you did to install it as far as paying upfront you will have to reach out to Pulseway themselves I had to do the same when I went from five systems down to three and they just ended up extending my time for the difference Quote Link to comment

yellowcooln Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Thanks @PTRFRLL for this post! I have Pulseway installed on both my unraid servers and I set a policy in Pulseway and changed the config in the config.xml file, but its not sending notifications when the server goes offline. I get the messages saying that the server is back online. Anyone have any idea why? Edited December 16, 2020 by yellowcooln Quote Link to comment

I think Pulseway periodically checks if the server is responding and if not, it will generate a offline notification but that check isn't always completed successfully. Quote Link to comment

MonocleChronicle Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I have gone through the steps, but nothing shows up on my Pulseway account and when I do /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseway start I get this Starting Pulseway Daemon ... Done! This is what my pulseway shows still. At no point did I get any errors during installation. any ideas? Nevermind newbie moment, forgot to check the logs, I had an error in the log for invalid user ID / Password Edited January 19, 2021 by MonocleChronicle Solved it by doing what I should have done in the first place Quote Link to comment

Ericthered Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks for your help I got it I think it was between step 3 and 5 I was thinking something should have been showing up in the /boot/pulseway folder and thats what had me stumped. Quote Link to comment

ataman Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Is Pulseway still free up to 2 instances being monitored? Which type of account has to be opened to be able to use it with tool from this topic? Quote Link to comment

The Free Account for two instances works for this plan, that is what I'm using with a spare account that monitors my UnRaid host and main Windows Server that hosts TeamSpeak and Game Servers.

TexasDave Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Quick one - does the Pulseway Agent for Slackware need to be updated on our system on a regular basis? Or does that happen as part of the service? Thank you! Quote Link to comment

That said, I'm in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" camp given the pace of Unraid OS updates 1 Quote Link to comment
