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.

The old profile will be renamed while the new one is created for the helpdesk to give users.

It was suggested to ask ControlUp for a road map call, and to open a public API as part of the new streaming data project.
