Posted on August 22, 2023

A user asked about targeting specific devices for a ControlUp Edge DX alert, and Landon recommended using an environment variable in a script to make sure it only runs on certain devices.

How to install ControlUp Edge DX via Command Line

Posted on August 11, 2023

A user asked how to install EdgeDX on a RDSH Farm. It was suggested to modify the command line, adding "RegisterWithDeviceName": true and "REGISTERWITHNAME=1". Additionally, there will also be a need to check if the device group/tag needs to exist, as that may be a factor in the devices not appearing in Edge DX.

Targeting Scripts to Specific Devices with ControlUp

Posted on August 10, 2023

It is possible to have a script with a system or user trigger run on certain device groups or tagged devices by checking the tags/groups within the script itself. The 'COMPUTERNAME' environment variable can be used to target devices, and the 'SIPDEVICEGROUP' environment variable can filter by Edge DX device group. A device_group text file stored locally can also be used, although the script will still run on all devices before stopping after the check is made. More details can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/scripting-guide#targeting-a-script-at-a-specific-device.
