Troubleshooting ControlUp Upgrade Process
An employee is troubleshooting the upgrade process for ControlUp. They are updating from version 9.0.5.423 to 9.1.5.445 and have encountered an rpc error when trying to add a monitor to a specific region. The issue is due to the console using the Windows identity of the person running the console, so the user may need to run the console as a user with permission or deploy the monitor through PowerShell. The recommended upgrade order is console, monitor, data collector agents, and all other agents. The ControlUp website has a guide for upgrading and the employee has a further question about downloading the Real-Time DX Console.
