A user was experiencing an error while trying to deploy ControlUp Agent in a Dev environment locally, even after uninstall, reboot, and trying from the RTC. It was suggested to stop the agent service before doing the upgrade of the agent and it was determined that due to either routing or firewall issues, the copying files part was hanging. It was then determined that WMI/RPC ports need to be opened to properly push the ControlUp Agent.

Troubleshooting Event Log Trigger Alerts for Applications and Services Logs
A user asked if anyone had any experience getting custom Event Viewer trigger alerts to work for applications and service logs, and whether they were able to get the process working correctly. It was suggested to ensure that the console was correctly collecting events before setting up triggers, and that the events were accessible in Powershell. The user was then referred to a ControlUp article (Real-Time Console - Events Pane [https://helpcenter.controlup.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015114517-Real-Time-Console-Events-Pane]) before it was suggested they use the "scheduled task trick" to create an event in the application.

Suggested actions include using a trigger that checks for session count and maintenance mode, and separate scripts for Reboot and Disable Maintenance mode. The benefits of using this method compared to scripts are explained.

Understanding Data Transmitted by ControlUp Agent
A user asked for documentation and other information about the data the ControlUp Agent sends to the cloud service -- sales or CSM contacts can help with this question, and GDPR/security documents can address customer security concerns. Edge DX is cloud-only, and relevant data can be found in the data indexes when the internal indices tickbox is enabled. Link to Security Architecture: https://support.controlup.com/docs/security-architecture.

Improving Performance from ControlUp Real-Time Client
A user asked advice on how to help with the real-time client not using a minimum of 1.4 GB RAM, due to the in-ram database the monitors use. It was suggested to connect to the hypervisor and EUC sites only and drill into the machines to connect to the agent. Solve and the web portal are the paths forward, with the ability to open different views in different browser tabs or on multiple screens, as well as stream Session Activity Reports in Solve. The user also asked about the Session Client Report and it was suggested to manage the columns in the presets and to use the ability to share report configurations.

Understanding Cross Site Association in ControlUp
When the delivery group is in another datacenter, it may have its own ControlUp monitor which the EUC view only allows one site per EUC site. RT shows information but Solve does not. It is verified that the monitor is connected and available, but the user needs "cross site association" -- a setting to allow the monitors to share data between each other. Enabling this feature increases network utilization and has to be done manually. For more information, the user can see the Multi-Site Association Feature at https://support.controlup.com/docs/multi-site-association-feature.

Discrepancies between ControlUp Consoles and Universal Sync Script Setup
A user asked about discrepancies between two ControlUp consoles, with some machines showing ‘Install Agent’ in the host column of the machine details. The user was advised to set up the Universal Sync Script (https://support.controlup.com/docs/euc-synchronization-with-universal-sync-script) from GitHub, and asked about their CSM - their account manager who can assist with setup - if needed. The user also asked if all machines were on the same hypervisor.

Limiting Access to ControlUp Agentless VMs
A user inquired about limiting access to ControlUp agentless VMs when giving the service account visibility of storage in VMware - this would bring in 191 agentless VMs and exceed their licensing capabilities. It was clarified that the only way to limit the service account is to do it at the cluster level, granting them the "NO ACCESS" role on the clusters not to be managed. The user was advised to reach out to their ControlUp sales team for further assistance on this matter.
