Applies To: WatchGuard Advanced EPDR, WatchGuard EPDR, WatchGuard EDR, WatchGuard EPP, WatchGuard EDR Core

From PSInfo, you can use the URL Checker tool to verify the connectivity of the URLs that your endpoint security product requires. The tool helps to determine whether any URLs do not communicate with the endpoint agent. Common scenarios are when communicate with the endpoint agent fails, or when antivirus does not send telemetry.

To check the connectivity URLs of your product:

  1. Run PSInfo.exe.
    The PSInfo dialog box opens.
  2. Select the Tools tab.

  2. Click Start.

  3. After the check completes, verify that each entry in the Detail column reports as OK.
  4. If the Detail column shows an issue, review the text in the Notes column for a possible cause.
