ControlUp for VDI (Real-Time DX) Training & Support Archives
ControlUp for VDI (Real-Time DX) training and support-related archives from inside the ControlUp Community on Slack.
Determining Language in ControlUp Realtime DX
The question was asked about how the language is determined in ControlUp Realtime DX. It was observed that the console inherits its locale according to the culture set in the environment where it is started, with examples provided on how to do so in PowerShell. It was noted that the calendar used is in Irish due to the setting of ga-IE, but that the administrator needs to set the culture to en-IE for an English calendar. This is because the DateTimePicker takes its language and formatting settings from the system's regional and language settings.

Targeting ControlUp Edge DX Alerts to Specific Devices
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.

Finding Actual Size of FSLogix Profile .vhd in ControlUp
The user asked for a way to get the actual size of their FSlogix profile .vhd in ControlUp since disk metrics in Solve use values from Windows or FSlogix logs. Four scripts in the realtime console may have the relevant info and the "Current Size" column can display the size of the VHDX. It was then suggested to watch a webinar from yesterday and a blog which talks about the VHDX size. The Show FSLogix mounted container details SBA can show the "VHD Actual Size (MB)" field which displays the size of the VHD from the share.

Viewing Remote Users Through UAGs with ControlUp Real Time DX/Solve
The user was unable to use ControlUp Real Time DX/Solve to view remote users connecting through UAGs. After resolving an issue to get the Universal EUC Sync Script working, this user is now looking for a way to view historical data of specific UAGs connections. Currently, the data is only available in real-time and historical data can be made by using the Export-CUQuery in PowerShell, exporting the relevant fields and sending it to PowerBI, Splunk, or Tableau to build a report. Link to documentation: https://support.controlup.com/docs/add-horizon-integration and https://support.controlup.com/docs/export-cuquery.

Does ControlUp Use WMI APIs?
The discussion provided an audit answer to the question of if the WMI APIs are used to manage virtual network resources. ControlUp usually uses them sparingly, such as for GPU data collection, but not for Monitor. A Script Action at https://www.controlup.com/script-library-posts/show-local-wmi-activity/ can be used to trace which process uses which WMI query.
