Health Checks for VMware UAGs Using Horizon and UAG APIs within ControlUp
A user asked for suggestions on what metrics to assess in a project to do better health checks on VMware UAGs using Horizon and UAG APIs. Ideas include alerting when a connection server exceeds a threshold, and when services are not in a running state, as well as low available memory and high CPU. These metrics would also be desirable to display in ControlUp's Solve and Console. Discussions also included Dennis' idea to bring the data to Edge DX and a feature request for UAG data.

How to Make ControlUp Edge DX Recognize Windows-Based Thin Clients
A user was having an issue with Windows-based thin clients not showing up properly on Edge DX when the device image was sysprepped and reinstalled. Edge has a UID stored in the programdata folder which marks the device as unique. To solve this issue, the UID must be removed before sealing the image, and then a new UID will be generated when the Edge agent is restarted. The UID file can be found in C:\programdata\Avacee\sip_agent\cachefiles.

EUC Environment Cloud Connection Disconnection Issues with ControlUp
Users are experiencing multiple disconnects/reconnects with their EUC Environment cloud connection daily which is causing issues in the ControlUp console, false reports of failed desktops, and data disappearing when navigating Solve. A ticket was raised four years ago but no resolution has been provided. Support suggested rebooting data collectors and adding resources but it is believed the issue lays with Citrix's API blocking connections. ControlUp is actively working with Citrix to resolve the issue.

How to remotely query the registry of machine using a ControlUp Script Action?
It is possible to query the registry of a machine using a Script action, however the user was getting 'access denied' errors. If the computer runs the CU agent, it might be easier to run the script there instead of remotely. It was suggested that PS remote needs to be enabled for Invoke-Commands. 8.8 release will allow users to see the value for VHDLocations as a column in console and Solve as part of the FSLogix integration.
