Problem: My network contains security policies that prevent agents from reaching the SeaLights platform

This is normally caused due to security policies related to Firewalls, or other networking-related security configurations that prevent access to the SeaLights API. To verify this is the case, try running a cURL command to your dashboard URL:

...

Info

The above cURL commands runs on native Linux.

  • If using Windows, you will need to run it from a PowerShell prompt as it allows curl commands as an alias to the native Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet that you can use as well.
    For example, Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://<YourCustomDNSName>.sealights.co -UseBasicParsing | Select-Object StatusCode,StatusDescription
    If a proxy is required, you can add -Proxy <Uri> parameter to the first part of the command. More details can be found in Microsoft’s Official documentation page.

  • If running on a Linux container without cURL, you can install it using apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl or use the wget equivalent.
    For example, wget --server-response --spider https://<YourCustomDNSName>.sealights.co . If a proxy is required, you can add -e use_proxy=yes -e http_proxy=<proxy_url> parameters to your command.

Solution

In case a firewall is present, it needs to allow network traffic to reach the SeaLights platform, and depending on your organization’s policy, you can use one of the following solutions.

Allow outbound traffic to Sealights' domain

The Firewall should allow outbound connections on port 443 (TLS v1.2) to our domain https://*.sealights.co.
For a more restrictive rule, you can open the connections to your Sealights dashboard URL only.

Allow outbound traffic to Sealights' range of IP addresses

As SeaLights' networking is managed in AWS, the full list of subnets pointing to our platform can be found in the ip-ranges.json file supplied by AWS.

...

Some customers may have their servers managed via F5 Volterra, therefore the IP Ranges should be configured based on the following information https://docs.cloud.f5.com/docs/reference/network-cloud-ref
