    Hi,
    130067 is disconnected currently. I installed with admin rights. What do you see on your end? I don't see anything blocked on our end.

    Hi,

    We see it as Disconnected right now. That means it's been offline for at least 30 minutes.

        This is what I see on our firewall for traffic coming from the agent and going out to what I assume is the Outages IO reporting server.

        @marcuscommunications Yes, that's one of the servers it would be communicating with.

        Does the service show running on the PC that the agent is running on? And if so, can you still ping the above IP? The other won't respond.

          On our end, we see; 2023-02-08 21:36:21 so it definitely has not communicated since then.

            @EchoMin I can ping from that computer:

            Ping statistics for 66.85.130.2:
            Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
            Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
            Minimum = 75ms, Maximum = 85ms, Average = 81ms

            C:\Users\Administrator>

            I have tried multiple computers on that network and they acted the same way with the agent so its definitely something on that local network. I just don't know how I would go about troubleshooting where the communication is getting broken.

              Can you check the service on that PC so we can know if it's running. If it says it's running, you could look at your system app log and see if there is any error log. Then you could restart the service to see if that cures it.

              It doesn't mean we found the problem but it's more info.

                  Also, are all the servers you're running the agent on the same version, like Win 10, 11 or a server version. I see 130067 is win 10.

                      We have seen in some situations that the agent seems to be running fine then suddenly, part of the communications stops. It often seems to be something that allows ICMP for a while then blocks it at some point either in the network or with the provider or it could even be upstream.

                      It's been active for over 5 minutes now.

                        And now we see it Inactive. It it stays this way for 29+ minutes, it will then change to Disconnected status.
