Cloud connect requirements

This guide describes the local requirements to be able to connect the Capture logger to the cloud portal. On the edge device, 2 of the Capture components need to access the cloud over https.

Cloud manager​

  • Provisioning => cloud registration of a new device
  • Remote config update => receive new device configurations from the cloud portal
  • Remote software update => receive new updates for the local Capture components

Syncer​

Synchronizing the local data to the cloud is done over https.

Required firewall setings​

In order to be able to communicate with our cloud portal, we need https internet access. A simple test to validate the connection is browsing to capture-vintecc.com from a browser on the edge device. Navigating to this domain should be allowed

* Linux systems also required an inbound rule for Established and Related connections.

Domains​

The edge device should be able to reach following domains:

Optional firewall settings​

The cloud manager component hosts local webpage with following functionality:

  • Overview of the Capture services
  • Local config editor
  • License / config uploader
  • Component logs

This webpage can be accessed via http://localhost:5004/api/ui, with a browser on the edge device (No firewall changes needed). If you want to access the app from an external device via http://<ip edge device>:5004/api/ui , you need to open port 5004 in the firewall. We do not recommend this for security reasons
