Editing Web Transactions Scouts with Power Automate and Honeycomb
A user asked about editing Web Transactions scouts through the Scoutbee API, but there is currently no support for this. The user was wondering if it would be possible to use Power Automate to adjust the assert test for dynamic dates. @member asked for more details about the use case and suggested a potential solution using a scheduled job. The user clarified that they need to adjust the assert test almost every day and discussed a possible flow using Power Automate to check with another API for the correct assert text. @member explained that this can be done through connecting to Honeycomb and the scout would give an error if the text is missing.

Tracking Blue Screen Events in ControlUp
A user asked if it is possible to see when the blue screens appeared on the "Top Devices with Blue Screen Events" report in ControlUp. Another user suggested checking the Power and Session Events report, which includes a search function for device name and "BSOD" event type. A screenshot provided shows 4 events, but some may be duplicated. The recent Agent beta allows for capturing blue screens using WER files. A user suggested adding the information on when the blue screens occurred as a hover feature in the "Top Devices with Blue Screen Events" report. ControlUp will consider this suggestion.

Discussing Data Retrieval from Custom Data Indexes at ControlUp
The conversation on Slack revolved around pulling data from custom data indexes via API. It was revealed that while there are 7 indexes with varying numbers of items, only 10,000 rows can be queried from each one. This is because EdgeDX expects filtering and aggregation to be done on the tenant side rather than the client side. The logic behind data retention was also brought up, with the max amount of data being 30 days. The discussion ended with the advice to query the collapsed index for more recent data. The full conversation can be found at https://controlup.slack.com/archives/CAZ3VBF6B/p1617709089046900.
