Hi, Just want to know about which protocol is being used during webui query, it happen on TCP or UDP or both same like BigFix’s other functionalities.
Please if there is any IBM/HCL documentation related to its communication too.
It’s much like any other content gather & report.
The Relay sends a UDP notification to the client tgat new content (a Query) is available, then the client connects to the Relay via TCP to retrieve the query content, executes it, and posts a result to the Relay via TCP.
This can change slightly if you have the Persistent Connections feature from 9.5.12 enabled; a client with an established TCP connection would be notified of the new content via the Persistent Connection (tcp)

Thanks @JasonWalker ! one more question, what will be behavior if UDP is blocked in 1st place but we have implemented command polling.
Generally, the query would timeout (giving no result for those endpoints).
You could enable “persistent connections” to work-arpund UDP being blocked.
