The user suggested having the option to group multiple EUC scouts into one widget and retain their results, to help monitor a large Citrix silo effectively. The speaker clarified that the feature being discussed is about running the same scout from multiple hives, rather than grouping tests for multiple targets into a single scout.

Why does ‘client NIC speed’ in Demote DX fluctuate in FSLogix support in ControlUp 8.8?
A user queried how the value 'Client NIC Speed' is calculated in ControlUp 8.8, where they use FSLogix metrics.
