Network ports

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.

Additionally, your firewall may automatically block Pendo, ThoughtSpot’s system for delivery of in-product tips, short videos, and other training elements. To ensure that you can view Pendo guides, add Pendo to a list of allowed domains.

Ports for operations and debugging

The following ports must be open for requests from users.

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+).
