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.

Triggering ControlUp Automation with Scoutbees Alerts
A user asked if an alert from Scoutbees can trigger a ControlUp automated action. It was suggested to run scripts using ControlUp Automation to interact with Scoutbees.

Additionally, writing a script to either put the server into maintenance mode or reboot was considered.
