windows add connection not working

[somayaj]

Hi, I've installed vector from source and have the UI showing up at the default 3000 port. But when I try to add a connection pointing to http://locahost: of the springboot app that I have. It just spins..can someone please advise? I have it all running just need to add the connection to point to the localhost.

I am getting the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04

I am running this on EC2 instance and I have my SG open on the below ports but I am still getting the spinning wheel when I am trying to add the host.

sudo netstat -ltp | grep "/p"

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:44321 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3033/pmcd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:44322 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 14961/pmproxy
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:44323 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4058/pmwebd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4330 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9385/pmlogger
tcp6 0 0 [::]:44321 [::]:* LISTEN 3033/pmcd

tcp6 0 0 [::]:44323 [::]:* LISTEN 4058/pmwebd
tcp6 0 0 [::]:4330 [::]:* LISTEN 9385/pmlogger

I am using the below parameters when adding the host.

Protocol: HTTP
Hostname: localhost
Port: 44323

@somayaj
Could you clarify what exactly you mean with regards to "connection pointing to http://locahost: of the springboot app that I have"?

Vector connects to a PCP instance running on the host. It does not integrate (directly) with spring boot. (Although PCP can talk to JVM).

@abuehaze
I am confused about your connectivity issue. It seems you are trying to connect to localhost but you also mention SG open. SG open will be affecting remote connectivity. Could you explain further please?

jasonk000@ I have tried both pmwebd & pmcd on the same host or on 2 different hosts and I am getting the same behaviour in both setups.

The SG point was when I was setting them on 2 different hosts, as you said this shouldn't be needed if I am setting up everything on the same host.

@jasonk000 Does that answer your question ?
