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.

Why are mouse clicks within RDP sessions in ControlUp 8.8 passed through to background apps?
Users have reported an issue when using RDP/ControlUpconsole.exe, where clicking within an RDP session causes random background apps to pop to the foreground. It was suggested this was a known issue unrelated to ControlUp/RDM/Citrix, linked to the RDP stack, and ControlUp are unable to do anything about it. A workaround is to open the RDP session in a new window. ControlUp are also working on a modern Remote Control solution, but this will only be available with the Solve product, which the user doesn't have access to for another 3 years.

Health Checks for VMware UAGs Using Horizon and UAG APIs within ControlUp
A user asked for suggestions on what metrics to assess in a project to do better health checks on VMware UAGs using Horizon and UAG APIs. Ideas include alerting when a connection server exceeds a threshold, and when services are not in a running state, as well as low available memory and high CPU. These metrics would also be desirable to display in ControlUp's Solve and Console. Discussions also included Dennis' idea to bring the data to Edge DX and a feature request for UAG data.
