Setting up a Process Trigger in ControlUp

A user asked if there was a way to set up a trigger in ControlUp that alerts them of multiple occurrences of a process in one session, which could indicate issues with user logoff. It was suggested to use a script or the PowerShell API to monitor this.

Good afternoon – I wanted to know if there was a way to setup a trigger where CU alerts us of a process occurring multiple times in the same session. This indicates that the multiple processes are blocking a graceful logoff of the user session.

Normal behavior demonstrates just one occurrence of said process during a VDA session.

you could have a trigger with a script for every time the process starts to check if there is more than 1 of the process and if more than 1 then take action

Thanks – so there isn’t an integrated way to check that in CU without a script?

we do not have native monitoring for when specific processes have more than one occurrence in the same session / session ID. However, you can either use a script as @member suggested, or, use our PowerShell API to export process data from the relevant sessions, check if more than one specific process instance is running, and based on that create an alert or remediation
