Deployment

User permissions

For the Management Pack to work, it requires the creation of a new user with admin privileges in your UptimeDC environment.

Conection requirements

Make sure you have a working connection between your chosen Cloud Proxy and UptimeDC environment. Also check connection to registry.indevops.com on port 80 and 443.

If any of those are blocked, please contact your network administrator.
