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.

ControlUp Edge DX system requirements and AV exception documentation
Someone was looking for system requirement and AV exception documents for Edge DX. The documentation available on Support Controlup showed AV exclusions for Controlup, which included one item needed for Edge DX. Powershell was found to be blocked by CarbonBlack, and it was suggested that Powershell should be allowed as Edge DX runs PS to gather metrics. It was also suggested that the Edge Docs be updated to reflect this, and that sipagent.exe should be whitelisted to allow Powershell to run.
