Clarifying ControlUp Edge DX and Remote DX Use Cases

Posted on December 9, 2022

Paul asked for clarification between ControlUp Edge DX and Remote DX and their use cases. EdgeDX is a standalone agent and RemoteDX is a plugin to Citrix Workspace/Horizon Client. Paul wants to get data from sessions, and tested with Mac, where EdgeDX data was visible but not data was visible in session views. RemoteDX was installed but did not show data in the session view. Further testing and a ticket may be necessary. More information on the Virtual Channel configuration can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/remote-dx-known-issues.

Posted on December 9, 2022

Anyone have experience with ControlUp Edge DX & XenApp provisioned TS / VDI?

Posted on December 7, 2022

A user asked about experience with EdgeDX and XenApp provisioned TS/VDI and was recommended to deploy RealTimeDX instead due to its stateless nature and the fact that it will need rebooting to change the device ID and lose historical reports. To overcome this for Teams Monitoring, the user could install the EdgeDX Agent with a known switch, make a hardcoded link from the C and D drives, and set the custom RegisterWithDeviceName setting to be true. The user then asked if this was officially supported and if it would be coming to EdgeDX or Realtime/Solve, and was told that it is very interesting.

Setting up Alert for Remote On-Prem Servers in ControlUp

Posted on December 6, 2022

Several users asked about creating an alert to notify them if two on-prem servers are offline longer than 10 minutes. It was suggested to set up a script to check the servers and additional metrics every 10 minutes, run a Scout to test ports for the service, or use the ‘System Down’ trigger in Console (RealtimeDX). A brainstorm session was organized for the next day to further discuss the issue.

Posted on December 1, 2022

Logon duration is available in ControlUp Edge DX from the logons and user sessions report

Posted on November 29, 2022

A user asked if there was a way to report the logon duration of an endpoint from sign-in to landing at the desktop, as well as a way to report the reboot time of the endpoint. The logon duration can be seen in the Edge DX 'Logons and User Sessions' report, while the reboot time could be reported using a custom report from the Windows Shutdown/Reboot Event IDs. The user appreciated the tip and said they would look into it.

Experiencing Poor Performance in Remote DX on VMs?

Posted on November 29, 2022

Users have experienced poor performance when using ControlUp Remote DX on virtual machines, and wondered if others have had similar issues. It was suggested that they try RDP on a physical machine to test the issue, and to use LDAP or SAML with Solve instead of VNCing through a jump-box. As a workaround, users can minimize their VM for the app they need, which is a little inconvenient, but can make their lives easier.
