How to get Usernames and Login Time Data via ControlUp Insights or Triggers
A user inquired about the best way to create a report using Insights which includes usernames and login times to a CSV on a network location. The suggestion was to use an Export Schedule in Monitor config or build a trigger that fires an export when logon duration is higher than a certain amount of time, or use export-cuquery. Historical data is only available in Insights/Solve and Outlook macros can be used as a workaround.

How to give access to ControlUp insights without giving access to the Controlup Console
The discussion considered what options are available for providing access to Insights data for third-party users without access to the ControlUp console. While registering in the console is necessary, uploading a CSV file with UPNs can be done with the Login Setup feature in 8.7. Insights will be deprecated soon and, as some customer's security policies can remove accounts if they are not used after a certain amount of time, there is the option of creating a bogus user with an email distribution. There are no limitations on the number of users in ControlUp itself, though some Microsoft licenses may be consumed based on a single AD account.

Using Insights to View Most CPU & RAM Consuming Applications Over Given Period
A user asked how to view the most CPU and RAM consuming applications for a user on a shared server in a single graph, using only Insights. ControlUp Solve Computer Trends can display this in two charts, but the user would like the same list in a single graph, over a given period, which is not possible with just Insights. A feature request for this has been suggested. The App Trends section can be used to view one process at a time.
