Why does ‘client NIC speed’ in Demote DX fluctuate in FSLogix support in ControlUp 8.8?
A user queried how the value 'Client NIC Speed' is calculated in ControlUp 8.8, where they use FSLogix metrics. This value is determined based on the data rate of the NIC which is expressed in bits or bytes per second, and can be accessed through the Device Manager, Command Line, or third-party software. @member then shared a Slack blog post introducing Slack GPT AI, which another user noted looked cool, and offered to open a 'test' channel for experimentation with the technology.

ControlUP Monitoring: Combining CVAD Logon Times with FSLogix Integration without UPM? Supported Configuration?
A user asked about running FSLogix and UPM together without issues. It was suggested to not use Director for logon times as ControlUp is more accurate and to focus on the Windows logon time. It was also recommended to use the logon duration analysis script provided by ControlUp and establish a baseline. Additionally, FSLogix integration interrogates a remote file share every 5 minutes and does not provide free space info, other than that it can be requested via Solve UserVoice. Links provided: https://www.controlup.com/resources/blog/entry/analyzing-logon-duration-just-got-better/, https://www.controlup.com/script-library-posts/enable-requirements-for-logon-duration-analysis/.
