Please remember that Pulse, Software nPoint and Hardware nPoint are communication the same way.
Distributed TruView is in almost all cases a single TVC (running the web portal) and one or more data sources (TVF and TVP).  Please note that TVP (TruView Packet) is a packet collector and has no Web UI.  TVF (TruView Flow) is equipped with a (depreciated) Web UI and can still be used for flow based network analysis.  However, customers are recommended to use TVC for flow as well as packet based network analysis.


In general, nPoint is contacting the nGeniusPULSE Server, not the other way around.
In case there are firewalls in between the appliances, this article will help you to create the necessary firewall policies.


Service Test are executed by the nPoint. Device monitoring is done by nGeniusPULSE server or a Collector.
Please note that all TruView appliances are running firewall deamon (linux: firewalld) to restrict access to undocumented ports.


Even when there's no Service Test running on the nPoint, the nPoint will contact nGeniusPULSE Server every minute to update its configuration.

Introduction

Distributed TruView is in almost all cases a single TVC (running the web portal) and one or more data sources (TVF and TVP).  Please note that TVP (TruView Packet) is a packet collector and has no Web UI.  TVF (TruView Flow) is equipped with a (depreciated) Web UI and can still be used for flow based network analysis.  However, customers are recommended to use TVC for flow as well as packet based network analysis.

In case there are firewalls in between the appliances, this article will help you to create the necessary firewall policies.

Please note that all TruView appliances are running firewall deamon (linux: firewalld) to restrict access to undocumented ports.

udp/161 snmp polling interface utilization of exporter

TVP inbound ports

destination service role
tcp/22 ssh management cli

TVP outbound ports

destination service role
udp/53 dns domain name service
udp/123 ntp network time synchronization

Distributed TruView internal communication ports

destination service role
