This discussion is about monitoring LB VIPs on ADCs/Netscalers, with a user wondering about the proper trigger configuration. They had tested it but got no alert email. It was suggested to use the Netscaler Record Type to get a lot of useful data and also to try manually triggering the alert by unbinding the back end server from the service group to observe the value changes in the console.

ControlUp Solve
Locked Out of ControlUp Solve Portal Despite Permissions
A user was locked out of their Solve and DEX portals due to a permissions issue. After being granted all necessary permissions, they still couldn't access Solve from the console. It was established that the user needed the "Use Solve" right in their security policy. The user then tried a few solutions, including the add-cuuser cmdlet (https://support.controlup.com/docs/add-cuuser-create-new-solve-users#), but still could not access the portal. A restart of the monitor did not help however, so the issue is still unresolved.

IP Addresses for Servers in EUC Environment in ControlUp Console
A user asked why some EUC environment servers in the ControlUp console had their IP address visible while others did not. It was explained that those with an agent installed had their IP addresses pulled directly from the agent, while "agentless" machines that were powered on get the IP address field from vCenter. To view the IP addresses of the ones with agents, the user was recommended to use "Solve" and add the field there.

Filtering Environment Assessment: Desktops or Servers?
A user asked if there is a way to filter the Environment Assessment to show desktops or servers. Reminiscent of the Legacy Insights interface, the new reports coming to Solve may not offer this either. The user asked @member to comment on the matter.

Can the ControlUp RealTime DX Console Be Run From Another Server?
It is possible to run the ControlUp RealTime DX Console from another server other than the Monitor as long as it meets the requirements outlined in the Knowledge Base article https://support.controlup.com/docs/communication-ports-used-by-controlup-hybrid-cloud-1. Having the Console on the Monitor server is not preferred as it can bog down resources and can lead to corrupted RAM databases which may cause alerts and automation not to fire. It is best practice for users to open the Console on a dedicated machine and to use the DEX platform instead of Solve.
