Remote socket port connection

You can configure your agent to accept data from a remote socket port. The agent must run on a system that has a network interface connection to a remote system.


Procedure

  1. Set the value of the environment variable CDP_DP_ALLOW_REMOTE to YES by completing the following steps.

    1. Go to the Agent Editor Agent Information page and select Environment Variables.

    2. Click Add and select CDP_DP_ALLOW_REMOTE from the list of environment variables using the Name field.

    3. Set the Value field to YES.

  2. Follow the procedure that is detailed in Socket configuration.

    Restriction:

    • The data that is sent between the socket application and the agent:

      • Must conform to the XML syntax defined for a socket data provider. See Encoding of socket data.

      • Must be encoded in UTF-8.

      • Is sent in clear text (unencrypted). If the data contains sensitive information, the communication must be secured through an SSH tunnel or other mechanism outside the agent.

    • The agent processes data that is received from any remote hosts, so the environment must be secured with appropriate firewall or network traffic filters.


Results

You can run code that implements a socket data provider on any system which can connect to the system where the agent is running.
