IT environments change. Technologies evolve, infrastructure vendors change their strategies, and sometimes support for a monitoring integration ends. For IT teams, that can create an immediate challenge: a previously monitored part of the infrastructure suddenly becomes a monitoring gap.

I use Claude every day. I still build dashboards in SquaredUp

If you've looked at SquaredUp and thought "I don't need this, I'll just use Claude", I understand completely. I've thought it too. Here's what changed my mind. I use Claude constantly. I've also spent the last few months building the parts of SquaredUp that let it in: our MCP server, the object graph and correlation, a stack of plugins. So this isn't a dashboard vendor being sniffy about AI. I've watched Claude pull from several sources and produce something genuinely useful in under a minute.

Notes from the Field: Incomplete Monitoring Data After Upgrading to Citrix VAD 2603

As part of our EUC Managed Support & Consultancy Services, we regularly test new Citrix releases and investigate changes that could impact the environments we support. While upgrading a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site to version 2603 in our lab, we noticed unexpected behavior in Citrix Director. After completing the upgrade, the Connections overview showed incomplete session information.
