Thanks for sharing your feedback!
This article covers the communication requirements for deploying ControlUp version 9.0 for VDI & DaaS organizations created in the EU region. Visit these articles to see the communication requirements for:
- Synthetic Monitoring (Scoutbees)
- ControlUp for Physical Endpoints & Apps
- Communication ports for VDI & DaaS for US + rest of the world (non-EU)
9.0 Specific URLs
If you are planning to upgrade to version 9.0, consult this article, which lists additional URLs requiring whitelisting for version 9.0
Outbound Connections
Devices and servers used by ControlUp, providing configuration interface, data aggregration, upload and authorization validation for web UI, access, and other services.
When you use a proxy in your environment, make sure to allowlist and open the ControlUp cloud configuration servers through your proxy.
Network Tester Tool
To verify connectivity from ControlUp products and components, you can use our network tester tool which checks connectivity to all required outbound URLs.
Web Application Firewall
ControlUp ensures that all URLs are protected using TLS to safeguard data during transit. However, for certain URLs, you must also enable SOAP. You can find this information in the Purpose column for the relevant URLs.

Required Connection for DEX
You can access the DEX platform via https://app.controlup.com. Make sure that your browser can access this URL.
Required Connection for Real-Time Reports from New Data Pipeline
To enable ControlUp monitors to send data to the new data pipeline for reporting, add the following URL to your allow list:
- https://monitor-receiver-azure-westeurope-prod.controlup.com/v1/data
Or by IP address: 20.4.63.242
(As mentioned in the Monitor table above.)
