The user asked about a graph showing gaps in latency numbers which indicates a drop in the clients network/internet connection. It was suggested to set up Scoutbees and monitor wifi as part of the issue resolution. 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.

What Does the ‘ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE’ Error Mean?
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.

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.
