Troubleshooting Monthly Trigger Scheduling with ControlUp Monitor Service Time Outs
A user was having trouble scheduling a trigger to run once a month, with the script running correctly when executed manually. After checking backend data and determining a support ticket was required, the team provided a Monitor log4net file and instructions for creating the log file. It was suggested to look into the trigger timings being in different time zones, and instructions were given for setting the Monitor service time outs. In the end it was discovered that the infrastructure servers had incorrect time zones, which caused the problem. ControlUp Monitor service time out was also optimized. The Monitor service should transition from 'started' to 'running' over time. The issue is now resolved.

They pointed to the ControlUp Academy for recommended training and to a Use Case for instructions on creating a trigger.

Troubleshooting a Telephony Issue With ControlUp Data
A user asked if it is possible to get granular data from ControlUp to troubleshoot an issue with calls dropping on a telephony system. It was suggested that an alert or script be set up to gather data, however the customer preferred to use Citrix ADM. ControlUp already gives extra details for the Protocol Latency metric such as Min, Max and Avg over a 5-minute interval and users were asked if this was helpful for the issue. The question was left open-ended to determine if more granular data could be made available in the future.

Running Scripts with Administrative Privileges Through an SBA
A user asked about running a script with administrative privileges through an SBA. It was confirmed that the SBA runs in the system context on the remote machine, so administrative rights should already exist.

It was mentioned that shared credentials can be used while copying files and to utilize a service account with admin rights when performing software installations.
