A user asked if port 40705 needed to be opened between monitors and IGEL devices for Remote DX. It was suggested that no firewall rules were necessary, and the user was given the steps to deploy the Remote DX plugin and configure the virtual channel in order to view Remote DX metrics. It was also suggested for the user to test on a laptop/PC. The user then asked for the cuepux_srv_dll which was not immediately found.

How to Deploy ControlUp Remote DX on IGEL Devices
A user asked about the best or newest way to deploy/update ControlUp Remote DX on IGEL. The Igel firmware release 11.08.230 includes ControlUp Agent 8.1.5.500 and the user asked how to activate this feature. The user was given advice to move away from Real-Time but add them to Edge DX. As of 11.04 and earlier, the user was advised to use a custom partition. There is a bug that prevents the user from connecting after June last year, though. The user can download the ControlUp Remote DX Agent install script for IGEL devices using OS v11.05.152 and test it on OS v11.07.198.

Targeting Machines for Surveys in ControlUp Edge DX
A user asked if it is possible to target certain machines for surveys in ControlUp Edge DX, with the current options being AD groups or individual machines. It was mentioned that machine group selection may need to be requested as an enhancement. Linux agents do not currently support user sentiment. The survey is sent to users, and Edge is not installed on Citrix desktops.

Investigating Network Latency Issues in ControlUp
A user noticed that some of their devices experience a network latency with white spaces at different intervals and asked for clarification. It was determined that the ping was failing consistently every 40 minutes and that there could be a network issue (not VPN) related to communicating with a target Citrix public IP address. The user was instructed to open a support ticket and view raw data to determine if the numbers match. The graphs looked normal when checked.

Clarifying ControlUp Edge DX and Remote DX Use Cases
Paul asked for clarification between ControlUp Edge DX and Remote DX and their use cases. EdgeDX is a standalone agent and RemoteDX is a plugin to Citrix Workspace/Horizon Client. Paul wants to get data from sessions, and tested with Mac, where EdgeDX data was visible but not data was visible in session views. RemoteDX was installed but did not show data in the session view. Further testing and a ticket may be necessary. More information on the Virtual Channel configuration can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/remote-dx-known-issues.

Troubleshooting General VDI Slowness with Multiple Screens
A user asked for help in finding the source of general slowness in a VMware environment with 4-6 screens, no GPUs, and W10 Kiosks. ControlUp is being used to identify the bottleneck but CPU and RAM are not the source. GPU memory was discussed as a possible bottleneck, and it was suggested to check settings like Display memory limit, CPU metrics, network connectivity and RTT times, plus the fact that the EDT protocol can help. The user later reported that their lobbying for GPUs paid off, and they are getting 12 servers with 2xAmpere A16 GPUs.
