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 app.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.cloudamize.com: am.cloudamize.com (for US infrastructure) and am-de.cloudamize.com (for EU 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.
- Each Windows endpoint
- TCP ports 135 and the dynamic RPC port ranges open inbound, appropriate for your OS versions:
- Windows Server 2008 and later: TCP ports 49152 to 65535 open inbound
- Windows Server 2003 and earlier: TCP ports 1025 to 5000 open inbound
- TCP port 445 open outbound to the machine with the Agentless Data Collector installed
- TCP ports 135 and the dynamic RPC port ranges open inbound, appropriate for your OS versions:
- Each Linux endpoint
TCP port 22 open inbound
Protocol | Port | Usage |
TCP | 22 | SSH to access Linux servers |
TCP | 135 | Windows RPC |
TCP | 445 | Microsoft-DS Active Directory and SMB, Windows shares |
TCP | 1025-5000 | RPC dynamic port range for Windows Server 2003 and earlier |
| TCP | 49152-65535 | RPC dynamic port range for Windows Server 2008 and later |

- Linux machines require Root or Wheel access
- All other Windows and Linux system requirements apply
Minimum System Requirements for Agentless Installer
The Cloudamize Agentless Data Collector will need to be installed on a physical or virtual Windows machine dedicated to its use, and meeting the following minimum requirements (based on monitoring 500 machines - please consider scaling if the Agentless Data Collector has its node limit increased):
- Dedicated 64-bit Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher
- .NET framework version 4.0
- 4 CPU cores
- 8 GB RAM
- 2 GB persistent storage
- Powershell v5.1 (If SQL data is required)
Note: The agentless data collector runs obfuscated code which is susceptible to AV quarantine. The installer should be whitelisted prior to installation.
