Posted on

A user asked if anyone had set up an EUC scout to log in to Horizon view with Duo MFA. Control Up support have an open case on this, and @member has more information.

Improving Performance from ControlUp Real-Time Client

Posted on

A user asked advice on how to help with the real-time client not using a minimum of 1.4 GB RAM, due to the in-ram database the monitors use. It was suggested to connect to the hypervisor and EUC sites only and drill into the machines to connect to the agent. Solve and the web portal are the paths forward, with the ability to open different views in different browser tabs or on multiple screens, as well as stream Session Activity Reports in Solve.

Investigating “Failed” EUC Scouts in ControlUp

Posted on

For some EUC Scouts, 'Couldn't get SessionReady from the session' is marked as 'failed' despite the screenshots appearing successful. The duration of the logon might be too short, so increasing it and using baseline images may help resolve the issue. In one instance, the issue was caused by Scoutbees reconnecting to a disconnected session, leading to 12 hour-long failed Scouting, even though the connection was successful.
