The on-premises Console agent install guidance described outbound internet access but did not state the required TCP port, creating ambiguity about whether port 443 is sufficient. This update makes the port requirement explicit in the shared networking content used by the install flow.

  • What was unclear

    • The Outbound internet access requirement listed endpoint access but did not explicitly name the transport/port.
  • What changed

    • Updated the shared include _include/networking.adoc (tag::outbound[]) to explicitly require outbound HTTPS on TCP 443 from the Console agent host to required endpoints.
    • Kept the change in the shared include so the wording stays consistent wherever this networking prerequisite is reused.
  • Resulting doc behavior

    • Readers now get a direct answer in-place: outbound HTTPS (TCP 443) must be allowed for endpoint communication.
Outbound internet access::
The network location where you deploy the Console agent must have an outbound internet connection to contact specific endpoints.
+
Allow outbound HTTPS (TCP port 443) from the Console agent host to the required endpoints.
