Before you install the Cloud
APM server, you
might want to temporarily disable your firewall or configure ports for incoming and outgoing
requests.
Before you begin
TCP connections are initiated from monitoring agents, API users, and Cloud APM console users to the Cloud
APM server. The Cloud
APM server can also initiate TCP connections to other
servers such as remote database servers. Thus, any firewall must allow the TCP connection to be
initiated and a response to be provided.
Procedure
Take one of the following steps to either open ports or disable the
firewall:
-
Set your firewall for incoming requests on ports that are used by the Cloud
APM server and for outgoing requests that are initiated by
the Cloud
APM server. Ensure that the ports in Table 1 in Cloud APM server ports are free (no application is listening
on
them).
-
Disable your firewall by running the following Red Hat Linux® commands:
service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off
For
Red Hat Linux version 7.4, disable your firewall by running
the following commands:
service firewalld stop
systemctl disable firewalld
What to do next
Install the Cloud
APM server and monitoring
agents.
