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.

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.

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.

The documentation will be updated to make this clearer.
