The user was looking for a report which would show what ControlUp had been doing in their environment and to spot trends week-over-week. It was suggested that the Incidents Pane in the Realtime Console and the Environment Assessment report in Insights be used to look at performance-related data. Reports in Solve, documenting and highlighting successes for ControlUp, and automations enabled in the Automation Module were all suggested as well. Additionally, there is a new in-product report which will present data out of the box.

The current FSLogix release was mentioned to be 'trash', while UPM has been known to work better with one issue. Citrix has been asked to incorporate a work-around in a future UPM release to solve the issue.

Investigating Unexpected Alert Triggers in ControlUp
A problem occurred when seemingly unrelated events caused the trigger monitoring the lab's pools to be reset and send off alerts. It seems to have been caused by a logged-out and then logged-back-in monitor service account. It is being investigated if something else forced the logout or if it is expected behaviour. To stop alerts from firing when the account signs back in, it is suggested to uncheck the "Include folders that were just discovered" checkbox. As the monitors use an in-ram database, if restarted the previous states are not remembered.

Help with hung User Sessions in EUC Platforms on ControlUp Real-Time DX
This EUC discussion explored solutions to an issue where user's sessions are hung and don't want to reconnect. ControlUp's Invoke-cuquery can be used to figure out where a user has sessions, and a registry key value can be used to log them off - though this process must be done remotely. Alternately, there may be solutions available through the EUC platform. When sessions don't disconnect, this is usually due to antivirus, onedrive, or any systray tool - the best solution is to add these to the LogoffCheckSysModules registry value.
