ControlUp Site Load Scouts Failing from Certain Hives
There was a discussion regarding Site Load scouts failing from certain ControlUp hives. Some users reported failures in Northern Virginia and Seattle, while others had no issues in these hives.

Upon further testing, Northern Virginia and Montreal started failing with the message that the resources haven't finished loading. Another user suggested opening a ticket for further investigation and mentioned that they have not heard similar reports from other customers. One user speculated that the failures may be due to their security measures blocking the cloud hive IP addresses.

Troubleshooting Data Issues on ControlUp’s App Control Platform
ControlUp recently migrated to app.controlup.com and there were some issues with data not being received for certain reports under "Application Usage". It was determined that the team has not done any network modifications for the specific URL mentioned in the issue. It was suggested to check the communication ports and add them to the allow list. There was some confusion about whether the new data pipeline runs concurrently with the old method, but it was clarified that data will continue to be received via the old method until the new reports are completely migrated. The ControlUp source can provide more information. Any issues with app statistics can be directed to support@controlup.com.

It was also mentioned that the agent does not have caching capabilities, only the monitor does. The potential impact of agent-level caching on user experience in VDI/RDSH environments was also brought up. This topic is not specific to v9 of ControlUp.
