ControlUpAgent for Windows

Overview and purpose

ControlUp Agent is a no-cost utility built to monitor and manage Windows endpoints—both physical hardware and virtual machines. Once installed, it streams live telemetry from each device so administrators can observe sessions, running processes, and overall system health without delay.

Installing and enrolling endpoints

Deploying the ControlUp Agent on a Windows machine converts it into a managed endpoint. After installation the device reports back to your ControlUp console, enabling centralized visibility and control across your estate. This makes it straightforward to keep track of many systems from a single pane.

Core capabilities

• Process-level visibility so you can see which applications consume CPU, memory, and I/O.
• Continuous system metrics that display overall performance trends and resource usage.
• Real-time user session monitoring to track logons, active sessions, and session-related problems.
• Interactive dashboards that consolidate key indicators and let you drill into details.
• Alerting and notification rules to surface problems immediately and reduce mean time to repair.

Why IT teams benefit

• Faster root-cause analysis by correlating process activity, session state, and system metrics.
• Better operational efficiency through centralized oversight and easier triage.
• Proactive response with configurable alerts that catch anomalies before they escalate.
• Scalable management that supports both physical and virtual deployments across networks.

Interface and troubleshooting workflow

The agent pairs with a graphical console that emphasizes clarity and quick access to information. Use the console to filter by machine, user, or process, inspect historical trends, and execute remediation steps. This visibility simplifies detecting issues as they emerge and accelerates resolution.

Getting started

Install the agent on target Windows machines, connect them to your ControlUp environment, and begin monitoring immediately. The combination of live telemetry and an intuitive interface helps keep your environment healthy and responsive.
