How Does ControlUp Calculate LAN Latency in Remote DX?

Posted on

A user inquired about how ControlUp calculates LAN latency in remote DX; ControlUp sends data via the remote DX plugin in the session and currently does not have the ability to configure another IP to ping for the LAN latency. Solutions include using ScoutBees from one or more custom hives or Edge DX as an extra target.

Gathering Custom Reports with ControlUp Insights

Posted on

This discussion focused on custom reporting needs and different ways to create and access reports. It was suggested to ask ControlUp for a road map call, and to open a public API as part of the new streaming data project. Insights (on-prem) and PowerShell and Excel were also mentioned as possible ways to create custom reports. Additionally, reports should be stored for one year, rather than having the data in two places, to avoid extra work for users.

Troubleshooting a Telephony Issue With ControlUp Data

Posted on

A user asked if it is possible to get granular data from ControlUp to troubleshoot an issue with calls dropping on a telephony system. It was suggested that an alert or script be set up to gather data, however the customer preferred to use Citrix ADM. ControlUp already gives extra details for the Protocol Latency metric such as Min, Max and Avg over a 5-minute interval and users were asked if this was helpful for the issue. The question was left open-ended to determine if more granular data could be made available in the future.

Troubleshooting Video Latency on Non-Persistent VM with ControlUp

Posted on

A user asked about troubleshooting video latency on a non-persistent VM, and it was suggested to use User Session Details in Solve as the best starting point. If Remote DX was installed, they can also watch session relevant latency, CPU, RAM and other metrics in a single place. Script Action can be used for advanced data collection. The Network Latency graph may be legit, but there was a known issue with the Linux RDX plugin. A new beta version which fixes this issue will be available soon. After sifting through the data, 3.75GB of RAM usage was found - they will look at adjusting graphics settings with Horizon View.

Understanding Bandwidth Limit and How it Differs from Speed Test in ControlUp

Posted on

The discussion covered understanding bandwidth Limit, what it is related to, and how it differs from Speed Test. It was suggested RemoteDX or Edge can be used to run periodic bandwidth tests and determine the type of tests to run. It was also suggested that bandwidth limit is stored historically and that what factors need to be considered when measuring latency and disconnections.

Looking for tips on troubleshooting Protocol latency issues?

Posted on

This discussion provided tips on troubleshooting Protocol latency issues, with a focus on VMware. Suggestions included eliminating different factors such as resource contention, latency on server/datacenter-side, and client-side bandwidth issues. An example was given of a session with very poor user experience (caused by a data center issue), illustrating how this type of issue can be identified by looking at other sessions' bandwidth limit.
