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.
