Known problems

After update, it could happen that parameters for the service disappear. Check existence with the following command:

db configuration show systemmonitor

If nothing appear, use the following command:

db configuration set systemmonitor service status enabled debug release
service systemmonitor stop
service systemmonitor start

From verison 6, debug mode are present for the service so that remote debuging are easer. To activate it, use the command:

db configuration setprop systemmonitor debug debug

Wait for about 5 minutes and go check file /var/log/systemmonitor You can send it to me, you'll find my address in the spec of RPM.
