How to set a ControlUp Trigger with multiple schedules?
Users discussed finding a clean way to set a trigger with multiple schedules for monitoring Horizon services. It was suggested to use a PowerShell script with IF logic for this. To prevent getting emails when the server closes for patching, a maintenance window could be set, with a different action taken if the service is down for more than 30 minutes. ControlUp's Realtime DX can be used to set a custom schedule. An example script was provided, which requires the user to edit it with the event IDs they want to monitor for and any services to be excluded. This thread can be added to the FAQ page.

Understanding Hard & Soft Page Faults with ControlUp
A user asked about hard and soft page faults and ControlUp's reporting capabilities regarding these faults. Hard page faults generally have a larger negative impact on performance, however with more people using solid state drives this impact is not as drastic. ControlUp is working to include this measurement of hard page faults in its reporting. In terms of acceptable page fault expectations, it varies depending on underlying hardware and disk speeds, and looking at the combination of hard page faults and excessive queue lengths can help to determine if there is an issue.

Investigating High Machine CPU Equation in ControlUp
A user noticed that their machine was at 95% CPU, but the total of individual processes running only summed to 1%. It was suggested to check system sessions, and the user concluded that when adding those to the equation, the numbers almost matched. Controlup shows all processes no matter how many are running in the same session. The CPU value for machines also includes system processes which are always running, so the machine value will always be slightly higher.

Anyone have experience with ControlUp Edge DX & XenApp provisioned TS / VDI?
A user asked about experience with EdgeDX and XenApp provisioned TS/VDI and was recommended to deploy RealTimeDX instead due to its stateless nature and the fact that it will need rebooting to change the device ID and lose historical reports. To overcome this for Teams Monitoring, the user could install the EdgeDX Agent with a known switch, make a hardcoded link from the C and D drives, and set the custom RegisterWithDeviceName setting to be true. The user then asked if this was officially supported and if it would be coming to EdgeDX or Realtime/Solve, and was told that it is very interesting.
