The 'ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE' error occurs when response is delivered along with requirements from Chromium such as 'X-Frame-Options' and 'Content-Security-Policy' aren't met. It is speculated that Salesforce is setting HTTP headers that are blocking an action that Scoutbees is trying to do, likely due to Javascript running on the page not sourced from a Salesforce-approved location.

How to Disable the ControlUp Daily Digest?
A user asked why they were unable to disable the ControlUp Daily Digest. After trying from different web browsers and ensuring that the user had sufficient permissions, they opened a support ticket and it was discovered that two user accounts for the same user were present with different permissions - the least restrictive taking precedence. It was fixed, and they asked how to control who receives the Daily Digest. To do so, an email address and the time of day when it is sent needs to be entered.

How to add new users to ControlUp Real Time DX?
A user asked a question about adding users to a ControlUp setup, with the question of whether it needs to be done via the Login Setup screen in version 8.7 or if it can be done through adding people to an AD group. In order to do this, users need to be added manually. However, ControlUp is working on enhancing its Solve/SAML integration, which will enable new users to be auto created as needed. This would be done with the new DEX platform/login when configured to use SAML. ControlUp will keep @member updated on its progress with the DEX platform.

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.

Triggering ControlUp Automation with Scoutbees Alerts
A user asked if an alert from Scoutbees can trigger a ControlUp automated action. It was suggested to run scripts using ControlUp Automation to interact with Scoutbees. An idea was proposed to create an error log in the events, and for ControlUp RealTime to trigger an automation from that event. Additionally, writing a script to either put the server into maintenance mode or reboot was considered. ControlUp RealTime currently only has the ability to execute native actions through PowerShell commandlets and the follow up actions can call web hooks.

Troubleshooting Abnormal Alerts from Scoutbees EUC
A user reported above-average alerts from Scoutbees EUC scouts in Frankfurt. It was suggested to set up an extra hive to exclude any issue within the existing one. The ControlUp team could not confirm any change has been made in the VDI environment, and suggested to manually access the tested resources to validate the credentials. Support was contacted to troubleshoot the issue further and the user indicated they will be monitoring the issue in the coming days.

Monitoring VeloCloud SD-WAN Routers with ControlUp Scoutbees
A user asked about monitoring VeloCloud SD-WAN routers with Scoutbees or script actions. The respondent suggested availability could be monitored using a ping or http/s test, while a more advanced solution could be done with the shell test. For deeper performance monitoring, it depends on the router's OS - for a supported Linux flavor Edge DX may be an option. Syslog capabilities and the operating system should be investigated to check for other options.

How are the credentials saved on ControlUp Scoutbees for a published App/Desktop scout?
Credentials for Apps/Desktops on Scoutbees are encrypted either in a database or with AWS-vault, depending on whether the Scout is running on a cloud hive or a custom hive. When configuring a custom hive, the credentials are stored only locally in a file. For further information see https://controlupcommunity.slack.com/archives/C046DUGB6M9/p1668549692870029.
