@scotth Note that MeshCommander is built into MeshCentral. Once you get MeshCentral running, click on a device and if it has Intel AMT, you will see a "Intel AMT" tab. The content of that tab is MeshCommander.
If you just want a Intel AMT console and connect to AMT devices on the local network or using a VPN, use MeshCommander. If you want a more completely management solution with AMT support included use MeshCentral.
Hope it helps.
That's clear. We have over 20 sites on VPN and will follow your advise.
ThanksThat's what I was thinking, just one central machine.

It keeps getting sweeter. Unfortunately, I had to power down and backup my installation from March. I added drives to our hosts and will be able to spin it back up.
And as luck would have it, ..... Windshield Time.

Why are you guys running this on Ubuntu now?
For me, because its what I have the most history with.

Iām not.

@bnrstnr said in Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect:
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.
