PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime
Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

Great idea, and it used to work, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I get: Can't load '/home/pp/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.36.0/lib/5.36.0/x86_64-linux/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so' for module Cwd: /home/pp/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.36.0/lib/5.36.0/x86_64-linux/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so: undefined symbol: PL_stack_sp at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base/XSLoader.pm line 93. at /home/pp/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.36.0/lib/5.36.0/x86_64-linux/Cwd.pm line 82.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/Downloads/kpcli-4.0.pl line 108 (#1) (F) The module you tried to load failed to load a dynamic extension. This may either mean that you upgraded your version of perl to one that is incompatible with your old dynamic extensions (which is known to happen between major versions of perl), or (more likely) that your dynamic extension was built against an older version of the library that is installed on your system.

The Cwd module is a core module of Perl. You have a problem with your Perl install, not with kpcli. -
It doesn't support newer kbdx file formats. See the issue 46 and the README to see "Version 4 of the KDBX file format is unsupported"Reply from kpcliEdited 2026-05-06
As of 2023-Aug-21 and the v4.0 release, the kbdx file formats are all fully supported through the use of the newly released File::KDBX. ⬤⬤⬤⬤ Previous reply, from 2022-03-19: kpcli will support version 4 of the KDBX file format if and when the Perl module File::KeePass does. Contributions to make that so are very welcomed. ⬤ The documentation also clearly describes this and describes how to work around it: "KeePass 2.35 introduced version 4 of the KDBX file format (KDBXv4) and it is unsupported by File::KeePass. File::KeePass can only decrypt databases encrypted with AES and newer KeePass versions offer ChaCha20, which will also save the file as KDBXv4. You can use the File -> Database Settings -> Security tab to change the encryption algorithm to AES/Rijndael and, as of KeePass 2.46, kpcli will be able to operate on the files." ⬤ Given all of the capability that kpcli provides, it seems seems disingenuous for you to give it a 1-star rating due to it missing one feature that you desire. -
fast, simple easy to handle and flexible.

I use this all the time - being able to ssh in remotely to my server and access keepass is just great.

Much easier installation than full keypass gui app. Very lightweight. Article entitled "How To Use kpcli To Manage KeePass2 Password Files on an Ubuntu 14.04 Server" helped me get going. Can't attach URLs so you'll have to search for itReply from kpcliPosted 2020-06-13
