Installing the Monitoring Agent on a Cloud Server (Windows)

Install the Monitoring Agent on your server to receive information about free disk space or running processes.

To install the Monitoring Agent on your server, proceed as follows:

Please Note

If you are using a local, host-based firewall on the server, you must enable incoming connections from the following IP addresses for the TCP port 5666 in this firewall:

  • 82.223.45.131
  • 74.208.141.82
  • 212.227.218.82
  • 109.228.63.82

If you want to reject ICMP packets on your local, host-based firewall and take advantage of all surveillance checks, you must also allow ICMP.
