Why is ControlUp ignoring an impending Netscaler SSL certificate expiration linked to an lbvserver?

Can the ControlUp Solve web console connect to a machine with a pre-installed agent, or is the legacy console necessary?
A user asked if the Solve web console will allow users to add new machines with an already-installed ControlUp agent, which would replace the current "Add Computers" configuration step. It was mentioned that a new version of ControlUp will have changes to the agent deployment process that will make this step less relevant. As an alternative, the support page https://support.controlup.com/docs/euc-synchronization-with-universal-sync-script provides a PowerShell script to sync Virtual Machines, though this is subject to customers' security concerns.

It can be used with an Azure resource ID and tenant ID, and requires credentials to be configured beforehand. The script works with Azure AVD and is hypervisor independent, but it is unknown if it works with an on-prem hypervisor like VMWare or with Azure HCI.

A user had set up a trigger to put a virtual machine into Citrix Maintenance Mode when local storage D:\ was below X GB, but it was not working. Another user shared screenshots of their own working trigger configuration and suggested the user upgrade to the latest ControlUp version. They also proposed trying a script that drains and reboots the server instead of putting it into Maintenance Mode. The latest ControlUp version was already being used.

How can I create a group-specific offline device alert in ControlUp Edge DX without using static IPs?
A user asked for help creating an alert in ControlUp Edge DX to detect when a device from a particular group goes offline. It was suggested that the Last Communication property is used to calculate "offline", and a static value could be used in the current alert system. The REST API can be used to get machines that have been offline for a certain amount of time. It was also suggested to look at the bell icon when creating an alert as a list of values with descriptions should be available.

Retaining Historical Data of ControlUp Scouts from Deleted Hives
The discussion centered around the possibility of retaining the scout's historical data when a hive has to be deleted. Currently, a user can change the scout to a new hive but the data associated with the previous hive can't be retrieved. The user suggested having the option to group multiple EUC scouts into one widget and retain their results, to help monitor a large Citrix silo effectively. The speaker clarified that the feature being discussed is about running the same scout from multiple hives, rather than grouping tests for multiple targets into a single scout.
