I had the request to add a Nagios Server an a HCL SafeLinx environment that the Nagios Server will not get to the blocked list when checking the availability of the HTTPS port.

For the HTTP Access Services subsystem there is a command line only feature which allows a comma separated list of IPv4 addresses which will be exempted from IMC’s quarantine detection. HCL SafeLinx will not quarantine these addresses nor log connection failures for addresses within this list:

chwg -s ibm-wlHttpService -l http-service0 -a ibm-wlExemptList=”ip-addr1, ip-addr2“

There’s an official KB entry for this issue: https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0028861
