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.

How to Make ControlUp Edge DX Recognize Windows-Based Thin Clients
A user was having an issue with Windows-based thin clients not showing up properly on Edge DX when the device image was sysprepped and reinstalled. Edge has a UID stored in the programdata folder which marks the device as unique. To solve this issue, the UID must be removed before sealing the image, and then a new UID will be generated when the Edge agent is restarted. The UID file can be found in C:\programdata\Avacee\sip_agent\cachefiles.

Tackling Peak User Input Delay (secs) with ControlUp
Trentent gave advice seeking to identify why application performance on physical machines had a peak user input delay up to 15 seconds - the default trigger priority boost for processes has a threshold of 300ms.

User input delay can be inspected with the newest agent.

The user would not like to automate this process and the solution may not be worth the effort required to make it 100% safe.
