How are the credentials saved on ControlUp Scoutbees for a published App/Desktop scout?
Credentials for Apps/Desktops on Scoutbees are encrypted either in a database or with AWS-vault, depending on whether the Scout is running on a cloud hive or a custom hive. When configuring a custom hive, the credentials are stored only locally in a file. For further information see https://controlupcommunity.slack.com/archives/C046DUGB6M9/p1668549692870029.

Do you need ControlUp Real Time Agent installed to view the Citrix License Usage report?
This discussion revolves around the Citrix License Usage report, and whether the Real Time agent needs to be installed on the Citrix license server. It was confirmed that it is necessary for on-prem customers, although hard to do for cloud customers. Additionally, triggering the license with the PowerShell module is possible since version 8.6.5, and requires a two step trigger and running the script in the message.

Missing the “Reconnect ” Option for RDP sessions in ControlUp RealTime DX
The discussion focused on the lack of a "reconnect" option in RealTime DX for managing Remote Desktop sessions when resolution changes occur. The team is currently exploring "Solve Actions" as an option, with additional Edge DX capability in the future. Customers are using Devolutions RDM and its "rdp file association" as a workaround for now. ControlUp RDX stands out as it allows for various credential sets and no additional tooling is needed. Reconnect option can be found when right-clicking on the machine instead of the tab. A tabbed RDP manager using the RealTime Console has many benefits, such as copy/paste of clipboard and files.

How to setup a ControlUp Trigger to alert if our cloud connectors lose connectivity?
The user was unsure if "0" meant "not connected" or "1" meant "connected" when setting up a trigger for cloud connectors in the ControlUp platform. The user was informed that by exporting the view in the realtime console, the CSV will contain numeric values for the column; connected = 1 and disconnected = 2. They can also check the Stress Level Dialog for other enumeration values. Dennis suggested adding a note regarding the values into the trigger dialog as well. The user agreed to look into this.
