Troubleshooting Edge DX and Netskope CASB
A user asked about Netskope CASB causing Edge DX to show their IP address as a Netskope owned one instead of their actual ISP IP. They found an article about ZScaler needing to be set up to bypass some ControlUp URLs for the real IP to show, and asked if this would likely be the same fix for Netskope. Another user responded saying they had a similar issue with ZScaler and needed to set up a bypass in order to correctly report ISPs. It is likely that EdgeDX is looking at the IP the client is coming in from and showing the Netskope IP. The ZScaler bypass information can be found here: https://support.controlup.com/docs/show-the-real-ip-address-for-devices-using-zscaler-vpn

Initiating a Tracert for High Latency Detection in ControlUp
After discussing how to initiate a tracert when high latency is detected, a user suggested setting an alert based on the _devices index and using a script to run the tracert and log the data into a custom index. However, it was noted that tracert results may not always show the culprit. A screenshot was attached as an example and it was suggested to have a threshold that triggers a tracert viewable from the UI directly on the endpoint. It was also mentioned that the samples seen in the graph are per minute, so there may have been an ongoing issue.
