Manage the WatchGuard Agent Plug-in for ConnectWise RMM

You can use the onboarding application to complete these actions:

Test the Connection

You can use the Test Connection function in the onboarding application to troubleshoot issues with the API connection. When you test the connection and there are connection issues, an error message appears with information about the cause.

We recommend that you test the connection before you try to connect the plug-in and ConnectWise RMM for the first time.

To test the API connection, from the onboarding application:

  1. Select API Connection.
