Firewall or access control requirements

The browser you are using to access SolarWinds Observability SaaS's basic features must have unrestricted access to the following locations:

Availability testing requirements

SolarWinds Observability synthetic probes must be able to access your site. To observe websites hosted on a local network, your server or site must open access to SolarWinds Observability SaaS probe server IP addresses. To view a list of all IP addresses used, click Settings > Synthetic Probes in the left pane. This page lists all available probes and their corresponding region, platform, and IP address. See Probe servers and associated IP addresses.

RUM visitor requirements

To collect and send RUM data to SolarWinds Observability SaaS, your visitors must have unrestricted access to the following domains: rum-agent.xx-yy.cloud.solarwinds.com and rum.collector.xx-yy.cloud.solarwinds.com, where xx-yy is determined by the URL you use to access SolarWinds Observability SaaS, described in Data centers and endpoint URIs. If your website visitors' firewall or access control settings restrict access to those URLs or if they are using ad blocker tools to block Javascript calls, the RUM data will not be collected or sent to SolarWinds Observability SaaS.

RUM script requirements

The RUM script uses the Boomerang JavaScript library for several key functions and is subject to the same code limitations and compatibilities as Boomerang. For example, the <MemoryRouter> router is not supported by the RUM script; all other router components for ReactJS and Angular10+ are supported. Data about some of your users' actions may not be collected if incompatible functions are used in your website.
