A user was trying to set an alert in ControlUp Solve \ Edge DX based on a device group or tag, and needed to use the 'devices' index for this, but didn't think it would work as the platform is not part of this index. @member was asked to offer input until the user could take a deeper look, but it ended up working, with all alerts only being for Linux endpoints.

Ideas for Reports Showing ControlUp Success in the Environment
The user was looking for a report which would show what ControlUp had been doing in their environment and to spot trends week-over-week. It was suggested that the Incidents Pane in the Realtime Console and the Environment Assessment report in Insights be used to look at performance-related data. Reports in Solve, documenting and highlighting successes for ControlUp, and automations enabled in the Automation Module were all suggested as well. Additionally, there is a new in-product report which will present data out of the box.

How does ControlUp report failed logins in the logon duration report?
ControlUp users were discussing how to determine failed logins for the Logon Duration Report, and the root cause of the issue: the Antivirus product scanning thousands of files stored in the Roaming profile. The current FSLogix release was mentioned to be 'trash', while UPM has been known to work better with one issue.

How Much Additional Employee Workload Can We Expect from a ControlUp Edge DX Deployment of 1500 Devices?
A user asked about the workload accompanying an ControlUp Edge DX deployment, which would involve approximately 1500 devices.

Investigating Unexpected Alert Triggers in ControlUp
A problem occurred when seemingly unrelated events caused the trigger monitoring the lab's pools to be reset and send off alerts. It seems to have been caused by a logged-out and then logged-back-in monitor service account. It is being investigated if something else forced the logout or if it is expected behaviour. To stop alerts from firing when the account signs back in, it is suggested to uncheck the "Include folders that were just discovered" checkbox. As the monitors use an in-ram database, if restarted the previous states are not remembered.
