Sidecar Networking

Deployed sidecars must be configured to allow connections from data consumers. Ensure that relevant listener port(s) are open on ALTR’s sidecar and that firewall rules are properly configured to allow connections from data consumers.

Sidecars must also be able to access relevant databases. Ensure that networking and firewall rules for your database(s) are properly configured to allow connections from ALTR’s sidecar.

Network Requirements

Section titled “Network Requirements”
  • Inbound — Data consumers connect to the sidecar on the registered listener port(s). Ensure these ports are open and accessible from the network where data consumers reside.
  • Outbound (to database) — The sidecar connects to your database on its native port. Ensure the database firewall allows connections from the sidecar’s IP address or network range.
  • Outbound (to ALTR) — The sidecar communicates with ALTR’s SaaS control plane over HTTPS (port 443) for policy retrieval, telemetry, and audit log delivery.
