A user suggested having a floating window with the processes of a user when the "Navigation to sessions/overview" is clicked, as a way to check for CPU, RAM, disk or network spikes when their "User Input Delay" exceeds a certain threshold. Another user suggested using the „dump views to disk” follow-up action in triggers as an alternative. This follow-up action can be used to select the views needed and create CSVs or XLS files for further investigation. Information about this can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/setting-up-triggers.

ControlUp Devices page become super slow to load and be able to interact with?
Users were experiencing slow load times when interacting with the Devices page, and believed it was due to seeing too many devices at once being set at 100. It was suggested to switch to 10 or 20 devices to improve responsiveness, however this was previously set up to 50 devices without issues. Coincidentally, users also noticed the online column now had color shading, but this was unrelated, as this was due to different filters being set.

It was also noted that in the upcoming release of 9.0, this feature of seeing free space for mapped drives and being able to alert on them would be available.

How to get more that 14 day of history in the ControlUp “Incidents” window ?
The user asked if there was a way to get more than 14 days of history in the ‘Incidents' window and more than 1-hour of history in the 'Events' view. The response was that ‘Incidents’ this is not possible, however ‘Events’ can be increased by increasing RAM, which will increase the console footprint. The user then asked if a feature request could be sent for ‘Incidents’ history window. The response was that this could be done, although the audit data can be sent to syslog server in order to query for more than 14 days.

Is there a sizing guide to how much storage space you need for ControlUp Inights
A user asked about sizing for Insights storage - in the KB, an example of 1,000 RDSH, 500 VDI and 30 Server OS users was given as 3 TB per year with an overhead of 1.3. 8,000 Citrix users, 2,000 VDIs, 3,000 laptops and 1,000 servers will require around 48 TB of storage, which would need an IOP cluster with 3 data nodes. The article from ControlUp KB is no longer available, however ControlUp's Knowledge Base article on prerequisites for Insights on-premises can be found at https://support.controlup.com/v1/docs/insights-on-premises-prerequisites#recommended-installation-types-based-on-sessions.

Why Separate Monitors and Data Collectors for ControlUp?
It is important to separate Monitors from Data Collectors in order to avoid competing for resources as well as breaking up extensions into chunks. Many companies opt for 8 Data Collectors, while some run Data Collector on Monitor servers if there is no sizing issue. Further resources concerning Data Collectors can be found at ControlUp's blog article and KB page (https://www.controlup.com/resources/blog/entry/what-is-a-data-collector-and-why-does-it-matter, https://support.controlup.com/docs/controlup-data-collector).

How to get the IGEL Device Name vs. the MAC Address with ControlUp Remote DX?
The user asked about how the naming of an IGEL thin client works, as it appears in the COP and in scripts. The network name had not been set, so it appeared differently in UMS and COP, and the scripts gave an error. By setting the Network Name, it should appear consistently across the platform.
