Has anyone attempted or been successful in creating a NetPath probe at a client site with the NetPath service pointing back to Orion? During the NetPath live stream yesterday, it was indicated to me that this was possible, but I have yet to get it to work. A client site where I would want to install this would not typically be part of my network or under my direct supervision, so I would not be able to push an install from Orion. Ideally, it would use an active agent to avoid having to deal with ports on the firewall.
I have managed to run some tests from remote sites where I do have some control. In those tests I have successfully performed a manual install of the Orion agent in both Active and Passive configurations and even opened the firewall at the remote site to TCP ports 17778 and 17790. These agents do show up in Orion as active agents and do create Nodes, but they do not show up in the dropdown list as an available NetPath probe. If you try to create a new probe using one of these agents, it returns an error stating that either the credentials are wrong or that an agent with that node name, host name or IP address already exists.
Thanks.
Jay
