A customer upgraded their On-Premises environment from 8.5 to 8.7 and introduced SOP 8.7, however it was not functioning.

A user asked about the "Logon Duration - Other" metric and if there is a definition of user logon time that can be seen as comfortable.

Can a Trigger be Created for a Non-System/Application Event Log?
A user asked whether it is possible to create a trigger for an event log that is not System or Application - the answer is yes, but only for administrative logs and not all of them work 100%. It is necessary to add the event log to the Events Controller first. The KB referenced is at https://support.controlup.com/docs/events-pane. The user will open a support ticket to investigate further, as the message generated didn't appear in the ControlUp console.

How to resolve discrepancy in the ‘log off session via script’ community script between User 1 and User 2 in ControlUp?
Two users noticed that a "Log off session via script" action was not working as expected, and discussed ways to troubleshoot the issue. They suggested that one user clear their ControlUp AppData directory or rename the ControlUp Store.xml file before relaunching to do this safely. The other user asked if there was an easier way to find out why the trigger was stopped working, and both suggested checking the event logs on the monitor for related event ID 5000/5005. Support ticket could also be launched if troubleshooting does not reveal the cause.

Missing “Client Device Score” icon in ControlUp Solve?
Members discussed the issue of not seeing Client Device Score in ControlUp Solve, and why metrics like Client Wi-Fi Signal, Lan Latency, Total Session Latency, and Internet Latency indicate the score. They concluded that Remote DX must be installed on the endpoints and the registry values need to be deployed. Members also noted that 3rd party software can be tricky with virtual channels, and that the default MSTSC rdp client should be used. Support ticket can be created at support@controlup.com.

Triggering ControlUp Automation with Scoutbees Alerts
A user asked if an alert from Scoutbees can trigger a ControlUp automated action. It was suggested to run scripts using ControlUp Automation to interact with Scoutbees. An idea was proposed to create an error log in the events, and for ControlUp RealTime to trigger an automation from that event. Additionally, writing a script to either put the server into maintenance mode or reboot was considered. ControlUp RealTime currently only has the ability to execute native actions through PowerShell commandlets and the follow up actions can call web hooks.
