Why are you guys running this on Ubuntu now?
Because it was what was the choice when we started and just keep updating. Why would we change?
For some reason I thought you were using Fedora
For MeshCentral? No, always was on Ubuntu.

You took a snapshot first, right?

What is the "correct" alternative to MongoDB on Fedora? Maybe I can build a different database binding...
By the way, I just added auto-backup into MeshCentral 0.3.4-t, add this to the "settings" section:
"AutoBackup": { "backupInvervalHours": 24, "keepLastDaysBackup": 15, "zippassword": "test" }This will zip a new backup every 24 hours and place the result in "meshcentral-backup". You can optionally say how many days before removing old backups and if you want to password protect the backup zip file, you can set a password. If you use MongoDB, it will call "mongodump" to backup the database and include it in the .zip file.

There is none, no document database is included with Fedora now.

will you be adding this to the gui? or should I just add this to the config.json?
Also just updated to 0.3.5-a
Thanks for keeping the releases coming -
How does the Power State graph work?
I have several clients that show "Device is powered from 12:00:00 AM to 3:50:00 PM" for today May, 22; however, the agent is not connected and the machine icon shows "Last seen: 5/22/2019, 12:57:30 PM" or "Last seen: 5/21/2019, 7:59:00 PM"
Looking at the graph, the machine has been connected all day, however elsewhere it indicates the machine was last seen last night.
Edit: To follow up, another computer has full bars on the 7 Day Power State: "Device is powered from 12:00:00 AM to 12:00:00 AM" For 5/16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and for today 5/22, it says, "Device is powered from 12:00:00 AM to 9:26:43 AM." yet the device icon says last seen 5/17/2019, 11:12:22 AM.

I have the same issue. Been meaning to ask but kept forgetting.

On the power timeline... yes yes... I need to fix this. One thing that would help is to download the power timeline raw data (The "Download Power Events" button on the top right of the power lines display) and make sure the raw data is correct. If it is, it's just me drawing it wrong. If it's not, I need to go fix something deeper in the server. Feedback on this would be appreciated.

@smartkid808 Wow, yes, you got it just right. The saw data and the graph don't match at all. I will work on this...

Is anyone else running into an issue whereby running the installer on Windows causes two entries to be made in list of machines? One shows agent is connected, other does not.
Identically named machines show up in nodes listing: Owner-HP, or User-Laptop, etc.
This does not happen with all installs, but has on last several.

Never seen that. But I have seen a second connection show up later a few times.

This does not happen with all installs, but has on last several.I have never seen it, but I did see that when I installed it (unattended) and also ran it (ad-hoc connection). I was just curious what would happen if I did that. Hopefully Ylian has some insight.

Did one show up as connected and the other not?
