Agent Communication

If you have subscribed to the Fully Managed Agent and the connected data sources only accept connections from specific IP addresses, you need to add the Agent's server address to the security settings of the corresponding data source. For example, add it to the firewall whitelist rules of a self-hosted database to allow the Agent to establish communication and transfer data with your data sources. The Agent server addresses for each region are as follows:
