Can ControlUp Insights display ICA proxy connections for my NetScaler Gateway?
The ControlUp console displays ICA proxy connections for NetScaler Gateways, but ControlUp Insights does not. Filtering session activity reports by initial client IP or using export-cuquery may provide the desired results.

Ideas for Reports Showing ControlUp Success in the Environment
The user was looking for a report which would show what ControlUp had been doing in their environment and to spot trends week-over-week. It was suggested that the Incidents Pane in the Realtime Console and the Environment Assessment report in Insights be used to look at performance-related data. Reports in Solve, documenting and highlighting successes for ControlUp, and automations enabled in the Automation Module were all suggested as well. Additionally, there is a new in-product report which will present data out of the box.

Does ControlUp Support Nutanix Files?
A user asked if ControlUp supports Nutanix Files, and it was mentioned that while Nutanix Files specific metrics cannot be seen, AHV can be added for lots of storage information. EdgeDX from ControlUp is a different product and cannot be installed on an FSVM. It was suggested that adding Nutanix CE CVM nodes & Prism Central VM’s to ControlUp via Retouw.nl could give some insights. Furthermore, CIFS shares or SMB Protocols can be tested for availability using ScoutBees or a scheduled trigger that starts an SBA and alerts if anything fails.
