Troubleshooting a Trigger to Delete Profiles in ControlUp
A user was trying to set up a trigger that would delete profiles older than one day if disk space drops below 10%, but the trigger wouldn't run. It turned out that it needed to be set up to delete at an exact threshold (e.g., 10%), and not a range (e.g., 9% to 11%).

A user asked if there was any benefit to running both RemoteDX and EdgeDX in addition to each other.
