Installation configurations

Cloud Console admins can review installation-level configurations from the Configurations tab of the Installations page. The Configurations tab includes the following sections:

• Inbound network rules: Manage the IP address access control list (ACL) for incoming traffic.

• Outbound network rules: View the Instabase-defined static outbound IP addresses for outgoing traffic.

Inbound network rules

Inbound network rules are used to define an IP address ACL, to allow traffic from other systems to reach your Instabase deployments. All inbound network rules in your installation, whether enabled or disabled, are listed in the inbound network rules table.

If no inbound network rules are listed, all inbound traffic is allowed. Otherwise, if any inbound network rules are listed, the IP address ACL is enforced.

The inbound network rules table includes the following information:

• Name: The name of the rule.
• Deployment: The deployments to which the rule applies.
• IP Address: The allowed IP address or IP address range.
• Updated: When the rule was last updated.
• Enabled: Indicates if the rule is enabled (green checkmark).
