NetPath system requirements

When using NetPath with N-able N-central, ensure there is access to the following URLs and ports:

  • https://keybox.solarwindsmsp.com:443/
  • https://ui.netpath.solarwindsmsp.com:443/

For NetPath, one of the following groups:

Region Group
Americas

https://us-west-2-svc.netpath.solarwindsmsp.com:443/

https://sqs.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:443

APAC

https://ap-southeast-2-svc.netpath.solarwindsmsp.com:443/

https://sqs.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com:443

Europe

https://eu-central-1-svc.netpath.solarwindsmsp.com:443/

https://sqs.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com:443

NetPath also requires .Net 4.5 or higher. If not installed on the device, the NetPath agent will deploy it.

NetPath uses distributed monitoring and path analysis using WinPcap, a Windows packet capture library, to discover how applications are delivered through the network to your users. Netpath installs into the following locations on a device:

  • C:\Program Files\NetPath
  • C:\ProgramData\AdvancedMonitoringNetpathAgent
  • C:\ProgramData\n-able\
  • C:\Program Files\WinPcap

See the N-able N-central system requirements for more information.
