Note the list of ports, both required and optional, for regular operations of ThoughtSpot.

For regular operations and for debugging, there are some ports you must keep open to network traffic from end users. Another, larger list of ports must be kept open for network traffic between the nodes in the cluster.

Ports for operations and debugging

The following ports must be open for requests from users.

Port Protocol Service Name Direction Source Destination Description
22 SSH SSH bidirectional Administrators IP addresses All nodes Secure shell access. Also used for scp (secure copy).
443 HTTPS HTTPS bidirectional All users IP addresses All nodes Secure HTTP.
12345 TCP Simba bidirectional Administrators IP addresses All nodes Port used by ODBC and JDBC drivers when connecting to ThoughtSpot.

Ports for intracluster network operations

Static ports are used for communication between services within the cluster. ThoughtSpot recommends that you open all ports within a cluster. This not required, but it will ensure that cluster communication works properly if additional ports are used in a future software release.

If your organization does not allow you to open all ports, make sure you open the required intracluster ports listed in the following table. In addition, a number of ports are dynamically assigned to services, which change between runs. The dynamic ports come from the range of ports that are dynamically allocated by Linux (20K+).
