How to test connectivity using OS's built in cURL?

Environment

• Carbon Black Cloud (CBC) Console: All versions
• Carbon Black Cloud Linux Sensor: All versions
• Carbon Black Cloud Mac Sensor: All versions
• Apple macOS: All supported versions
• RHEL/Cent OS: All supported versions
• Ubuntu: All supported versions
• SUSE: All supported versions
• Amazon Linux: supported versions
• Windows Server:  2019 and newer supported versions
• Windows 11:  All supported versions
• Windows 10: Version 1804 (April 2018 Update) and newer supported versions

Resolution

1. Depending on your OS, open a Command Prompt, Console, or Terminal
2. Run:

   curl https://dev-prod05.conferdeploy.net/services/healthCheck/

   • NOTE: For a full list of all CBC Backend URLs reference the Firewall Configuration Guide.
3. If successful you should have an output similar to:

   C:\>curl https://dev-prod05.conferdeploy.net/services/healthCheck/
   {"appStats":{"Commit":"d601d631","Build":"1.23.3","Branch":"v1.23.3"},"message":"success","success":true}

Additional Information

• This will work even if the CBC agent is not install, and can be use for non Carbon Black related URLs.
• The --verbose | -v  option. cURL will show additional information. If you think this option still does not give you enough details, consider using --trace or --trace-ascii instead:

curl --verbose https://dev-prod05.conferdeploy.net/services/anything

• If you use the --insecure | -k  option cURL will skip the verification of the certificate:

curl --insecure https://dev-prod05.conferdeploy.net/services/anything

• For more information about cURL, reference the man page.
