How to Get List of Monitored Services on ControlUp for Automated Actions
The team discussed ways to obtain the list of "monitored services" on ControlUp, specifically for a script-based action use-case.

Suggestions were also made to use the `ServiceDisplayName` record property as a parameter for a script action, which would retrieve the name of the service and pass it to the script. The discussion also referenced ControlUp modules and API calls for obtaining the list.

Configuring Triggers for Secure Browse Analysis in ControlUp
A discussion about configuring trigger for a Secure Browse Analysis was mentioned. The option to fire a script after the detection of specific events is currently available for the endpoint agent but not yet for the VDI/DAAS environment. Two ongoing projects, Workflows and the centralized Events feature, aim to simplify this process and will potentially allow for advanced alerts based on the collected data. @member stated that the first phase of the project, Events Management, is currently in beta and will eventually be able to turn incidents based on collections of events. A user expressed interest in trying out this feature after upgrading to the required product version. It was also mentioned that Workflows, although not yet supported, may assist with this issue.

Troubleshooting Secure DX Agent Auto-Updates in ControlUp
In the discussion, there was a question about the Secure DX agent not automatically updating in CU4D. It was suggested that the agent may not be updating due to it being manually deployed. The solution was also given to update manually or make changes to the script to run more frequently. There are planned changes in the works to give users more control over the versions and updates, similar to what is available in CU4D. It was also mentioned that if the script is not running once a day, support can be contacted to help troubleshoot the issue. The Devices tab can show which devices have upgraded to the latest version, with the install date of 8/19 being mentioned. The script will only run if devices are on at specific times.

Understanding Data Resolution at Intervals for ControlUp for Desktops / DAAS API Endpoints
A user asked about data resolution at intervals for the CU4VDI/DAAS API endpoints. They assumed the smallest sample would be 3 seconds, but were not sure. Another user clarified that for real-time data, the machine list and details endpoints are available, with a granularity that changes over time. They provided a link to the knowledge base for more information. The company plans to add new API endpoints for non-data pipeline, and potentially to pull real-time metrics in the future. There are also plans to add the ability to run actions from the API. A specific roadmap for these developments is not yet available.
