Troubleshooting Tools

MetaDefender IT-OT Access SDP gateways provide users with basic networking troubleshooting tools to evaluate the health of their gateways. To access these tools, users will require access to the private gateway via SSH (AWS/Azure) or via direct access to the OVA.

Upon accessing the gateway, users will sign into the SDP Gateway Configuration Tool prompt, and navigate to Tools using either the mouse or pressing [F10].
