Windows Installation Prerequisites for Agentless Data Collector
The table below lists the relevant ports for machine discovery and communication to the Cloudamize servers. Please note the following rules for each class of machine:
Machine with Cloudamize Agentless Data Collector installed
TCP port 445 open inbound
TCP ports 443 and a proxy server port if a proxy is being used (e.g.,8080, 80) open outbound to our servers at
:For assessments on appam.cloudamize.com
or dashboard.cloudamize.com: 104.197.11.97(for US infrastructure)
and 35.198.133.35 (for EU infrastructure)For assessments on console.cloudamize.com or dashboard-partners, am-de.cloudamize.com
: am.cloudamize.com(for
USEU infrastructure)
and, or am-
deae.cloudamize.com (for
EUUAE infrastructure).
If your system locally caches DNS resolution, you may need to resolve am.cloudamize.com to 35.171.170.26 or am-de.cloudamize.com to 18.194.12.63 to allow egress traffic. This feature is not currently available for our UAE region.

Requirement for Agentless Data Collector to Collect SQL Data from a remote machine(If SQL data is required)
...
PowerShell 2.0 is required to collect basic SQL Server data on the remote machine.
PowerShell 5.1 is required to collect additional SQL Server data on the remote machine. The Agentless will also install the NuGet packet and SqlServer PowerShell module to collect the Advanced SQL details, below are the links that need to be whitelisted to allow the Agent to download the packages.
NuGet packet installation: https://go.microsoft.com and https://onegetcdn.azureedge.net
SqlServer PowerShell module installation: https://www.powershellgallery.com and https://psg-prod-eastus.azureedge.net
.NET Framework 3.5 is the minimum requirement on the remote machine.
For additional data collection, the account used to add the nodes to the ADC UI should have permission to access MS SQL instances on the remote host. If not, add the account to Security/Logins in SQL Server Management Studio on the remote host.
