            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.

                                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 šŸ™‚ 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.
