A user was experiencing issues with downloading files on VPN through the new Management feature. They noticed in the network log that the system was attempting to upload the requested file to Azure before downloading it. The user shared their findings in the ticket and was asked to provide details on their VPN type. They also brought up the need for specific IPs or more granular access for the firewall team. Another user mentioned they were curious if the same issue would occur with their company's new VPN. The original user suggested it was more likely a firewall policy issue than a VPN issue. A request was made for the user to provide unfiltered Wireshark logs for troubleshooting.

ControlUp data update intervals and new agent method for collecting data
In a group discussion, a question was raised about the update intervals for different data points in desktops. The company was asked for a document listing these intervals and for access to scripts that can manually update desktops on demand. A specific script was requested but it was explained that the company is moving away from using scripts in future versions. However, a different way to collect data is already in the latest version of the agent. The suggested method gets around issues with unsigned PowerShell scripts. Further information and support can be found at support@controlup.com.

Creating Workflows to Auto Tag Machines Based on Location
A discussion was had about creating a workflow to auto tag machines based on location, with the trigger being logon or unlock. There is currently no native support for this type of trigger in ControlUp Workflows. The recommended workaround is to create a scheduled flow that runs every 5-15 minutes to update tags based on IP address and location data. Using controlUp One integration or Windows Event alerts were also suggested as alternative methods.

Some members discussed problems they were having with configuring Alerts Rules based on Event ID's. They discovered that the event was being captured and could be found in the win_event_log index, but the alert was not triggering. After further checking, it was determined that the data could be found by filtering in the data index. The eventID field should be used with the equals (=) operator since it is a number field.

Clarifying Scoping Permissions in ControlUp
A user asked for clarification on scoping permissions in ControlUp. They wanted to know if it was possible to target only groups and not tags, and if all groups and tags were targeted by default. Another user confirmed that it is possible to deselect all options in the tags dropdown to target only groups, and that the "Groups OR tags" logic applies when both groups and tags are selected. The documentation will be updated to make this clearer.

Choosing the Right ControlUp Agent for Virtualized Domain Controllers
The question was raised about which ControlUp agent to install on virtualized Domain Controllers for monitoring purposes. It was recommended to install the ControlUp VDI Agent due to its merging of agent and Hypervisor data, while the Desktops agent is not as hypervisor aware. Both agents offer different features such as remote control, alerts, script actions, and historical data length. Preferences and technical reasons are discussed.

The user also asked if the action library will be fully functional in the web at some point. ControlUp explained that support for VDI is coming and told the user that the Action library (Script-based Actions) is already available in the web UI, with the goal to eventually move all functionality to the platform.
