A user asked for recommendations to diagnose high Peak User Input Delays. Another user suggested zooming in on the time of the delay and checking memory usage. They also shared how to find information on what application is slow to respond to user input. The discussion then focused on how to identify the cause of a slow application, often due to resource constraints. The team provided examples, such as MMCexe processing event logs, and suggested that more resources may not always solve the issue.

Editing VM Configurations with ControlUp
A user asked about using ControlUp to edit virtual machine (VM) configuration items such as NICs and CPUs. The use case would be to optimize VM configuration and report if cores were assigned from multiple sockets, and also repair them. While there isn't a ControlUp specific script for this, there are pre-existing scripts available, and the user suggested a 'set CPUs = 1' parameter should be taken. Goal is to have CPUs match the number of cores, so sockets is 1.

How Long is Data Retention for ControlUp Edge DX Reports?
A user asked about the data retention timeframe for Edge DX Installed Applications reports. The contractual answer is 1 month, but it was suggested that information may not always be true as it depends on the type of data being reported. Installed applications data shows all apps seen in the registry, and should go back to the first app ever installed on the device. It's recommended to download the report monthly and run any additional reports as needed.

Gather Drive Type Information with ControlUp Edge DX
This discussion focused on how to use Edge DX to get drive type (SSD, HDD) information into Edge DX in multiple ways. The user initially wanted to see if the laptops they were using had SSDs or HDDs to troubleshoot a performance issue, and instructions were provided for manually and semi-automatically collecting the data. Edge DX also enables the user to create custom reports and set up persistent data collection, and includes a script to collect CPU temperature. The ControlUp Scripting Guide can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/scripting-guide.

Viewing and Acknowledging Alerts in ControlUp Solve/Dex
A user asked how to view and acknowledge alerts in Solve/Dex, and if not possible, if it is included in any plan. It is only possible in the real-time console, and not in Solve/Dex. The closest option to this is Enrich for AVD/ServiceNow and Edge, which can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/en/url-access-directly-into-controlup-monitored-resources?highlight=URL%20Access%20Directly.

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.
