A port that is automatically generated during deployment with a value between 30000 and 32767. SSH/SCP Dynamically allocated communication between Guardium Data Protection Collectors and Guardium Insights. A distinct port is used for each deployment, but the value of the port will always be between 30000 and 32767.

To learn which port is being used, issue this command:

oc get services <guardium_insights_namespace>-ssh-service -ojsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}' && echo
where <guardium_insights_namespace> is the Guardium Insights OpenShift® namespace that you created when preparing your environment.
Note: This protocol is one-directional from Guardium Data Protection to Guardium Insights. Ports do not need to be open from Guardium Insights to Guardium Data Protection.
