This user asked for advice on the issue of VM's becoming unreachable due to Horizon Agent issues, experiencing freezing applications and an inability to console or access the machine once it has reached this state. Causes such as port exhaustion and DNS issues were discussed, as well as suggestions on how to access the system and application log files, and to generate an OS crash dump. It was also suggested to review reassess the configuration and consult other Horizon tech communities. ControlUp historical data and the support article https://support.controlup.com/ docs/controlup-agent-temporary-mode-and-how-to-change-it?highlight=IsTemporary#what-is-the-fix-for-this-problem were also included.

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 the EUC Universal Sync Script in ControlUp
When using the EUC Universal Sync Script, make sure the "preview" Parameter is set to false in the cfg file to run the Sync script, and restart the monitor service for scheduling. The version on Github is the latest. The warning "Commit Changes?" is misleading but to assign False to the Preview parameter commit needs to be set to Yes. A bug in 8.8 related to Templates being empty was mentioned.

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.
