Creating Reports on Device Network Connections with ControlUp Edge DX

Posted on

The issue was discovered to be due to a machine having an altered Device ID within 3 minutes. The EdgeDX API URLs mentioned in the message were 'Global-EdgeDX Download Manager' = 'downloads.sip.controlup.com', 'Global-EdgeDX tenant' = "$edgetenant.sip.controlup.com" and 'Global-Google Maps' = 'maps.google.com'.

It was suggested to use an advanced trigger, and once created, to check a test. Additionally, a scheduled trigger can be used to report the status, or Export-CUQuery can be used to dump the data to a CSV file each week. Instructions for running Export-CUQuery in the monitor were provided. Links for the ControlUp Academy and Export-CUQuery Support Docs were given.

Improving Performance from ControlUp Real-Time Client

Posted on

A user asked advice on how to help with the real-time client not using a minimum of 1.4 GB RAM, due to the in-ram database the monitors use. It was suggested to connect to the hypervisor and EUC sites only and drill into the machines to connect to the agent. Solve and the web portal are the paths forward, with the ability to open different views in different browser tabs or on multiple screens, as well as stream Session Activity Reports in Solve. The user also asked about the Session Client Report and it was suggested to manage the columns in the presets and to use the ability to share report configurations.
