The Benefit of Running RemoteDX and EdgeDX Together
A user asked if there was any benefit to running both RemoteDX and EdgeDX in addition to each other. They are completely different, with RemoteDX adding extra metrics to VDI sessions and EdgeDX focused on corporate physical endpoints. Though each offers different data, there is benefit in drilling down from RemoteDX to the device in EdgeDX. Real-Time DX and Edge DX are two different products, so EdgeDX data is not viewable in Real-Time DX but Solve and DEX provide this data in the same web interface.

A user had setup ControlUp Solve / Edge access for help desk guys, however they weren't seeing the same controls on their Edge machines as the user could.

Investigating Network/Internet Connection Drops with ControlUp Latency Report
The user asked about a graph showing gaps in latency numbers which indicates a drop in the clients network/internet connection.

Having 3 targets in the latency report and seeing gaps in the same spot for all 3 targets could point to an issue with the user's cable, router, modem or ISP. ControlUP traceroute info might also be helpful.
