Description

This is also a minor issue around the UserDocumentation. While the diagram shows the overall network configuration, it lacks what sort of traffic is generated. I ran into issues with this as I had a firewall installed on the host system, which blocked the communication with the guest os. Would be good, if the exact communication flow could be spelled out (for example, I am unsure why the agent listens on port 9000 (or does it?) and the agent listens on port 8089)

This also limits the user's to troubleshoot themselves. Currently I am running into an issue where the agent doesnt connect with the manager. The documentation might give some pointers that allow to troubleshoot my setup.

  • owner changed from knwang to kindlund.
  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • summary changed from installation documentation lacks information on the generated network traffic to Installation documentation lacks information on the generated network traffic.
  • milestone changed from 1.0 to 1.1.

From a client/server perspective, the Manager is the "client", where the Agent and VM daemons are the (SOAP) "servers". The Manager contacts the Agent over TCP port 9000, while the Manager contacts the VM daemon over TCP port 8089 — both of these values are specified in the etc/honeyclient.xml file.

I agree that we should provide further documentation about this activity; we'll be working on it between version releases.
