  • 1.  The App Host is paired but communication has not yet been successful.

    Hi 

    I have a problem with pairing app host and SOAR. I did everything correct from documentation by soar gives me communicate like :


    App Host and SOAR have correct information about DNS. I can ping by IP or hostname. 

    I don't have proxy, and both instances don't have connection to the internet. 

    How to fix this

    As you have surmised this is typically a networking issue of some type from the Apphost to the SOAR server.

    The logs would probably show an error that points to a solution. I would start with this:

    Hi Lukas,
    In order to configure App Host you are required to provide internet access to the following sites:
    quay.io
    docker.com
    docker.io
    ntp:ntp.org
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sqsp/43?topic=installation-network-configuration

    If you do not have access to the internet, you can configure a private repository to host the resources required by the server.

    Hi Elizabeth and Lucas,

    I am in the same situation for Lucas, but I opened the connection between App Host and quay.io , docker.com & docker.io but I didn'e open it to ntp:ntp.org.

    when I tested the connection using the following command on the APPHOST:

    manageAppHost checkconnection
    INFO: Checking cluster API connectivity
    Select the app host to test:
    1

    I get the below reply:
