Users discussed finding a clean way to set a trigger with multiple schedules for monitoring Horizon services. It was suggested to use a PowerShell script with IF logic for this. To prevent getting emails when the server closes for patching, a maintenance window could be set, with a different action taken if the service is down for more than 30 minutes. ControlUp's Realtime DX can be used to set a custom schedule. An example script was provided, which requires the user to edit it with the event IDs they want to monitor for and any services to be excluded. This thread can be added to the FAQ page.

Investigating High Machine CPU Equation in ControlUp
A user noticed that their machine was at 95% CPU, but the total of individual processes running only summed to 1%. It was suggested to check system sessions, and the user concluded that when adding those to the equation, the numbers almost matched. Controlup shows all processes no matter how many are running in the same session. The CPU value for machines also includes system processes which are always running, so the machine value will always be slightly higher.

Help troubleshooting why we can not update agents via the ControlUp Console?
A user asked why agents cannot be updated via the ControlUp console. It is likely due to lack of admin rights, but AppVolumes can interfere with unzipping files. A possible workaround could be using the monitor command, updating the .NET version to 4.8, or using an Appvolume with the ControlUp agent. The Appvolume method has so far worked successfully.

As a workaround, users can minimize their VM for the app they need, which is a little inconvenient, but can make their lives easier.
