I have been using Pulseway for all of my servers and my computers for a while. If you're familiar with it then check it out as it's a very good program for monitoring and manipulating your computers/servers from anywhere. It has the ability to monitor services such as SSH, FTP, etc. The issue is that I'm not terribly strong with Linux (Ubuntu Server 14.04) and knowing boot types and all that jive is something I've read about but I'm not easily able to identify based on service information. Here's the sample config file that they provide for Linux. The specific section is regarding services: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <config xmlns="http://www.pulseway.com/linuxconfig"> <!--Pulseway Linux Monitoring Agent - pulseway.com --> <!--Monitored Services--> <MonitoredServices> <!--Service - Name: service name - DisplayName: friendly name used for display - IsDaemon: 'true' if the monitored service is a daemon and 'false' if the monitored service is a process - DaemonType: system management daemon type: NONE, SYSVINIT, UPSTART or SYSTEMD - Path: path of the monitored service (this is used when the monitored service is a process) - StartParameters: parameters used to start the monitored service (this is used when the monitored service is a process) - CanBeStopped: 'true' or 'false'--> <Service Name="cups" DisplayName="CUPS Service" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSVINIT" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false" /> <Service Name="ntpd" DisplayName="NTPD Process" IsDaemon="false" DaemonType="NONE" Path="/usr/sbin/ntpd" StartParameters="-p /var/run/ntp/ntpd.pid -g -u ntp:ntp -i /var/lib/ntp -c /etc/ntp.conf" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false" /> <Service Name="ssh" DisplayName="SSH Daemon" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="UPSTART" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false" /> <Service Name="SuSEfirewall2.service" DisplayName="SuSE Firewall Service" IsDaemon="true" DaemonType="SYSTEMD" Path="" StartParameters="" CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="false" /> </MonitoredServices> The question I have is what to provide for the various fields (correct anything that I've provided if necessary): Name="emby-server" DisplayName="Emby" IsDaemon DaemonType Path StartParameters CanBeStopped="true" Enabled="true" I've tried the IsDaemon as true and false and varying DaemonTypes. I've checked online for what each type means to try to match it but nothing seems to work. Emby's service goes down, which normally would send me an alert via e-mail, and I get no notification on it. Anyone who's successfully gotten Pulseway to monitor the emby-server service or know what the missing fields would be? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matt
