How to add new users to ControlUp Real Time DX?
A user asked a question about adding users to a ControlUp setup, with the question of whether it needs to be done via the Login Setup screen in version 8.7 or if it can be done through adding people to an AD group. In order to do this, users need to be added manually. However, ControlUp is working on enhancing its Solve/SAML integration, which will enable new users to be auto created as needed. This would be done with the new DEX platform/login when configured to use SAML. ControlUp will keep @member updated on its progress with the DEX platform.

Obtaining a ControlUp License for a Test Environment
A user asked if they could obtain a license for a test environment when they already had a production license. They were informed that a free trial license can be obtained with a new org. If the test environment is on the same domain of the production, they can just use a separate org for the same license. If the test environment is on a different domain, they would need to contact the sales team with their query. They were also informed about the Expert Program at https://www.controlup.com/products/controlup/expertprogram/, which they can get in touch with @member about.

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%.

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.
