Why don’t see a disconnected idle session in User Sessions (Citrix) but I do in User Sessions (Agent) ?
A user was confused about why a disconnected idle session appeared in the User Sessions (Agent) but not in the User Sessions (Citrix) under the EUC environment in ControlUp’s Remote Terminal console. The User Sessions (Agent) option is located under the Delivery Group whereas the User Sessions (Citrix) is found under the User. It was suggested that it could be because the session was failing to log off completely or there were not many processes for that user.

Does the Bandwidth Limit metric come from the Citrix EDT logic?
A question was asked about the Bandwidth Limit metric from the Citrix EDT logic - this is estimated by sending two packets of known size and measuring the time it takes to transmit them. The metric is measured in Mbps and it should not be lower than 1 or 2 Mbps as Citrix is nimble in its bandwidth consumption. Thanks to @member for clarifying.

Why is My IOP Server Adding 3600s to the Login Time Since the Time Change?
A user asked about the impact of the recent time change in France on their IOP servers, with their login time being 3600s different. Following a procedure provided, they were informed that while it is possible to set the time zone, it wouldn't affect the logon duration. It was then suggested that this is an issue with the agent version, the 8.6.0.192, which should be updated. VSO 89643 on Userville was mentioned as addressing the daylight savings issue, though the portal is only available for on-prem customers. The user should also restart the agent for the changes to take effect.

How to fix messed up one of the data indexes, now opens to grey screen with no records
To solve the issue of a grey screen when trying to access a custom data index, it is suggested to delete the whole index and build a new Object with all separate items. The object should include `'NIC Name'` and `'ipconfig interfacealias='` properties, and have to work around `IPv4Address` and `DNSServer` which are arrays. Deleting the index will allow the agent to send data again, and regenerate the index.

Alternative Way to Check User Processes with ControlUp Triggers
A user suggested having a floating window with the processes of a user when the "Navigation to sessions/overview" is clicked, as a way to check for CPU, RAM, disk or network spikes when their "User Input Delay" exceeds a certain threshold. Another user suggested using the „dump views to disk” follow-up action in triggers as an alternative. This follow-up action can be used to select the views needed and create CSVs or XLS files for further investigation. Information about this can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/setting-up-triggers.
