Two users noticed that a "Log off session via script" action was not working as expected, and discussed ways to troubleshoot the issue. They suggested that one user clear their ControlUp AppData directory or rename the ControlUp Store.xml file before relaunching to do this safely. The other user asked if there was an easier way to find out why the trigger was stopped working, and both suggested checking the event logs on the monitor for related event ID 5000/5005. Support ticket could also be launched if troubleshooting does not reveal the cause.

Missing “Client Device Score” icon in ControlUp Solve?
Members discussed the issue of not seeing Client Device Score in ControlUp Solve, and why metrics like Client Wi-Fi Signal, Lan Latency, Total Session Latency, and Internet Latency indicate the score. They concluded that Remote DX must be installed on the endpoints and the registry values need to be deployed. Members also noted that 3rd party software can be tricky with virtual channels, and that the default MSTSC rdp client should be used. Support ticket can be created at support@controlup.com.

How to get Usernames and Login Time Data via ControlUp Insights or Triggers
A user inquired about the best way to create a report using Insights which includes usernames and login times to a CSV on a network location. The suggestion was to use an Export Schedule in Monitor config or build a trigger that fires an export when logon duration is higher than a certain amount of time, or use export-cuquery. Historical data is only available in Insights/Solve and Outlook macros can be used as a workaround.

How to give access to ControlUp insights without giving access to the Controlup Console
The discussion considered what options are available for providing access to Insights data for third-party users without access to the ControlUp console. While registering in the console is necessary, uploading a CSV file with UPNs can be done with the Login Setup feature in 8.7. Insights will be deprecated soon and, as some customer's security policies can remove accounts if they are not used after a certain amount of time, there is the option of creating a bogus user with an email distribution. There are no limitations on the number of users in ControlUp itself, though some Microsoft licenses may be consumed based on a single AD account.
