Troubleshooting Data Issues on ControlUp’s App Control Platform
ControlUp recently migrated to app.controlup.com and there were some issues with data not being received for certain reports under "Application Usage". It was determined that the team has not done any network modifications for the specific URL mentioned in the issue. It was suggested to check the communication ports and add them to the allow list. There was some confusion about whether the new data pipeline runs concurrently with the old method, but it was clarified that data will continue to be received via the old method until the new reports are completely migrated.
