Hi Dojo,
We are following the steps to get cloud connected! (Connect DMS to dataminer.services)
Our setup consist out of a DMS with 1 main node and 1 failover node only.
We installed the CloudPack on both main and failover nodes and are now in the process of allowing the firewall connections mentioned in the help.
We noticed it mentions custom CloudGateway configurations in the help.
Is this a mandatory step to configure? And should we still install a separate pack for CloudGateway?
As I understood, CloudGateway is coming by default along with the CloudPack installation.
Though, we didn’t see the config file yet: “appsettings.custom.json” under “C:\Program Files\Skyline Communications\DataMiner CloudGateway” .
Please let us know if we are on the right track and if we need to configure that specific file or not.
We do want to leverage the features for Skyline to allow remote log collections.
Looking forward to be cloud connected! 🥳 Thanks!
Hi Thijs
You will indeed not find the appsettings.custom.json since this is a file you can use to customize the settings of the CloudGateway.
If you have a Cloudgateway with version 2.10.0 or higher you will find the settings mentioned in the docs in the normal appsettings file. If you want to use another port to expose the endpoint on we recommend to do this in a custom.appsettings.json file. (Only do this when port 5100 is in use on that machine already) If you change the appsettings.json file it will be overwritten when you update the CloudGateway.
Does this help you forward?
Do note that the 5100 port for the Cloud Endpoints only needs to be opened up towards the inner network. You do not have to enable this for public access from outside of the network.
Thanks Baptiste. Note that we faced a problem where the web APIs were not reachable using localhost from DataMiner. Louis L. helped us out and after configuring the “appsettings.custom.json” file, we got things working fine.
We used below configuration sample, where we changed “dma-ip”-placeholder with the actual DM Node IP. After the creation/update of this file, we restarted the CloudGateway service and everything got connected just fine.
{ “GeneralCloudGatewayOptions”: { “DataMinerWebApiHttpUrl”: “http://dma-ip/”, “DataMinerWebApiWebsocketUrl”: “ws://dma-ip/ws” } }
Thanks for the feedback Baptiste. We’ll now first await the IT team to configure the firewall & ports on the servers where needed. I believe we’ll go with the standard ports, if all goes well, I’ll get back here to close the answer. thanks!
