A user asked about creating a trigger for when a machine goes down, and was having trouble getting the alert emails. Suggestions included verifying the machine was up when creating the trigger, killing the agent process, using a script to run checks for down machines, and rebooting the monitor server. It was also suggested to check the incident tab for the event trigger, use a custom trigger with an action to send an email, check the in-ram DB, and get the logs to support for review.

Can the ControlUp RealTime DX Console Be Run From Another Server?
It is possible to run the ControlUp RealTime DX Console from another server other than the Monitor as long as it meets the requirements outlined in the Knowledge Base article https://support.controlup.com/docs/communication-ports-used-by-controlup-hybrid-cloud-1. Having the Console on the Monitor server is not preferred as it can bog down resources and can lead to corrupted RAM databases which may cause alerts and automation not to fire. It is best practice for users to open the Console on a dedicated machine and to use the DEX platform instead of Solve.

Troubleshooting a Telephony Issue With ControlUp Data
A user asked if it is possible to get granular data from ControlUp to troubleshoot an issue with calls dropping on a telephony system. It was suggested that an alert or script be set up to gather data, however the customer preferred to use Citrix ADM. ControlUp already gives extra details for the Protocol Latency metric such as Min, Max and Avg over a 5-minute interval and users were asked if this was helpful for the issue. The question was left open-ended to determine if more granular data could be made available in the future.
