AppNeta

Issue/Introduction

We were previously configured to send AppNeta Events to our internal targets for Event Integration, but we've seen the data stop.  We noticed when checking our setup that the target has become blacklisted.

Cause

With 10 consecutive events fail to send to the target, you may encounter blacklisting.  There could be a variety of causes why the events fail to reach your target, but most commonly is due to timeouts often related to Firewall settings.

Resolution

You'll want to ensure you've whitelisted your App-Server and its IP, found in this list.

Please also ensure the following are whitelisted:

nat1-ip-2 34.148.110.58
nat1-ip-3 35.231.244.105
nat1-ip-4 35.243.220.40
nat1-ip-0 35.231.104.101
nat1-ip-1 35.237.114.222

nat2-ip-1 104.196.65.22
nat2-ip-3 35.229.35.205
nat2-ip-0 34.148.182.86
nat2-ip-4 34.75.230.23
nat2-ip-2 34.138.221.9

You can check if you are currently blacklisted

1.  In AppNeta, navigate to Gear Icon  > Explore API > observer > GET /v3/observer.
2.  Click Try it out!
- The Response Body section contains the current configuration.
- The Response Code should be 200.
- The blacklisted field is true if the server is on a block list and false if it is not.
