A question was asked about the availability of the ControlUp VDI executable with the shift to cloud-based operations. ControlUp stated that their end goal is to get rid of the executable, but it will still be available for a while. Plans for on-prem are still uncertain but for the real-time console, ControlUp plans to go fully cloud-based with comparable functionality and configuration options. The timeline for this change has not yet been decided.

Troubleshooting ControlUp Upgrade Process
An employee is troubleshooting the upgrade process for ControlUp. They are updating from version 9.0.5.423 to 9.1.5.445 and have encountered an rpc error when trying to add a monitor to a specific region. The issue is due to the console using the Windows identity of the person running the console, so the user may need to run the console as a user with permission or deploy the monitor through PowerShell. The recommended upgrade order is console, monitor, data collector agents, and all other agents. The ControlUp website has a guide for upgrading and the employee has a further question about downloading the Real-Time DX Console.

Enhancing Citrix Cloud visibility with ControlUp 9.2
A user asked about getting information into ControlUp and having a single pane of glass for data instead of having to go to both ControlUp and the Citrix Cloud console. Another user asked for @member to review and update where Citrix Cloud metrics can be seen in ControlUp, potentially in version 9.2. The first release with some Citrix Connection Failure Logs was 9.1.5, and more visibility into connection failures will be available in version 9.2, with the addition of various connection failure metrics to automated actions.

Using ControlUp Triggers for Citrix Monitoring
A user who is not an expert in Citrix raised a query about getting the same information from ControlUp as their Citrix support team gets from Citrix Monitor. A column in cu4vdi shows the registered state and there is a community trigger for this. The use of Citrix Cloud should not be an issue for the trigger, as conditions can be added to report only when the machine is powered on, regardless of whether it is DaaS or on-prem.

Understanding ControlUp Monitor Database and Query Options
There were questions about where the ControlUp monitor database is stored and what tables are available. It was suggested that the database is stored in RAM and data is only exported to the cloud backend for long enough. There were suggestions to use the powershell invoke-cuquery or api to query the database. It was also mentioned that the export-cuquery may have less impact on the monitor and export more data at a time.
