This discussion focused on the difference between hive health and scout health, and the health metrics available in the scout details on the ControlUp portal. It was suggested that a "dead man's switch" be included to better help Scoutbee users with a metric to rule out hive-related issues. Hive availability can also be monitored to understand the reason for no test results in a certain period. The URL for the feature "Scout malfunction alert" is https://support.controlup.com/docs/alerts-for-stopped-scouts.

Health Checks for VMware UAGs Using Horizon and UAG APIs within ControlUp
A user asked for suggestions on what metrics to assess in a project to do better health checks on VMware UAGs using Horizon and UAG APIs. Ideas include alerting when a connection server exceeds a threshold, and when services are not in a running state, as well as low available memory and high CPU. These metrics would also be desirable to display in ControlUp's Solve and Console. Discussions also included Dennis' idea to bring the data to Edge DX and a feature request for UAG data.

How to remotely query the registry of machine using a ControlUp Script Action?
It is possible to query the registry of a machine using a Script action, however the user was getting 'access denied' errors. If the computer runs the CU agent, it might be easier to run the script there instead of remotely. It was suggested that PS remote needs to be enabled for Invoke-Commands. 8.8 release will allow users to see the value for VHDLocations as a column in console and Solve as part of the FSLogix integration.
