What is a necessary action if outbound traffic is blocked?

Allowing outbound traffic to both the instance and upgrade server is essential because Service Mapping requires proper communication between the MID Server and these destinations. When the MID Server is unable to send or receive data due to blocked outbound traffic, it cannot function effectively. The instance is where the Service Mapping application resides, and the upgrade server is necessary for keeping the MID Server up to date with the latest versions and patches.

Without establishing outbound connections, the MID Server is unable to perform its duties, which can lead to issues with data collection, monitoring, and even service mapping tasks. Thus, ensuring that outbound traffic is permitted to these critical servers is a necessary step in maintaining the proper functionality of Service Mapping and the infrastructure it supports.
