Prerequisites

Before you set up the Agent, the first step is to test your machine’s connection to SeaLights. Start Windows PowerShell as an Administrator and run the following commands:

PS Test-NetConnection {customerId}.sealights.co -Port 443 // confirm TCP reachability 
PS Invoke-WebRequest https://{customerId}.sealights.co // confirm HTTPS connectivity 

In each case, replace {customerId} with your SeaLights Customer ID.
