Troubleshooting Script Execution Issues in ControlUp Agents
There were reported issues with script execution on ControlUp Agents within an organization. Errors were received when executing specific scripts, but not when using the Realtime Console. The problem may be with ControlUp monitor servers. For now, a workaround is to stop the affected monitors, delete the ControlUp Store.xml file, and restart the monitor. This is a known issue and will be addressed in a future release. The issue is documented as VSO 155910 and 158919.

Can ControlUp Monitor Cloud and On-Prem Environments?
A user asked if it was possible to use ControlUp to monitor a cloud environment, especially VMware on GPC.

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.

Admin Rights Required for Upgrading the ControlUp Monitor?
The user asked if administrative privileges were required to upgrade the monitor from the console on another VM, and if they were needed for the one-time upgrade from 8.6 to 8.7. It was clarified that the organization owner MUST be the first user to upgrade the Real-Time Console to version 8.8, but after that any user can upgrade to 8.8 with any admin rights; and the organization owner is only required for the initial upgrade from 8.6 to 8.7. A user can be added in "AD Connections" with admin rights to override the user used to upgrade the monitors.

Troubleshooting Monthly Trigger Scheduling with ControlUp Monitor Service Time Outs
A user was having trouble scheduling a trigger to run once a month, with the script running correctly when executed manually. After checking backend data and determining a support ticket was required, the team provided a Monitor log4net file and instructions for creating the log file. It was suggested to look into the trigger timings being in different time zones, and instructions were given for setting the Monitor service time outs. In the end it was discovered that the infrastructure servers had incorrect time zones, which caused the problem. ControlUp Monitor service time out was also optimized. The Monitor service should transition from 'started' to 'running' over time. The issue is now resolved.

Investigating Logic Monitor Hack Fallout with ControlUp Endpoints Isolated
In response to the Logic Monitor Hack in a development Org, the endpoints NICs have been disconnected to isolate them from each other and the internet, which may last for a total of 5 days. To investigate potential fallout, the new DEX console has been accessed and some Scoutbees have been disabled. ControlUp Monitors will not be collecting data as all endpoints have been isolated. For edge dx devices, these will keep collecting data while offline, and will ship that out once they have connection.
