We have roughly 24 customer facing web sites in our DMZ. We plan to use an external data center (a few servers) to deploy the WPM players; to monitor the customer experience.
** In our Orion infrastructure we have 8 pollers and a dedicated database server (internally).
I need to understand what and how the payload [(externally from the players), (metrics, other)] gets back to the database (internally).
A player by default listens on port 17781 [server initiated]. Port 17782 is used when you configure for Player initiated.
Question: What does this communication contain [server initiated]?
Same question for Player initiated?
Question: Would the player (in our case 8 polllers) communicate with Poller One exclusively?
My concern is securing this connection external to internal as tightly as I can. I am curious as to how you guys are doing this.
What am I overlooking and should be concerned with in the context of security?
Thanks for all replies.
