The Net Tools API is a deployable Mule app that you can deploy to CloudHub or any worker cloud. The app will then expose a very simple UI that will allow you to do basic networking commands. The idea is that most networking related issues with your CloudHub VPC and VPN are related to connectivity to your on-prem systems, and most of those issues end up being resolved on the customer end. If you have this tool available to you, you can work with your Networking team to test connectivity to various on-prem systems and verify that firewall and routing rules are working. It can also be used to generate some traffic that can help with diagnosing networking issues.

This supports HTTP and HTTPS connections with a configurable port for each.

• DNS lookups
• Ping
• TraceRoute
• Opening a TCP socket
• Simple curl GET request
• Pull SSL certificates
• Check supported ciphers for a given SSL/TLS endpoint

The UI can be accessed by using the base URL for the app. The options are listed below.

• CloudHub Shared Load Balancer: http://{app-name}.{region}.cloudhub.io where the app-name and region are specific to the deployed app.
• Dedicated Load Balancer: custom url. See Configuration section to update settings.

The UI is protected by Basic Authentication, and the default credentials are listed in the Configuration section.

The properties below can be set on the app to override the default settings. The proper ports must be set to accommodate load balancer and VPC firewall rule settings. The default settings are for the CloudHub shared load balancer HTTP endpoint.

• user: User name for login. Defaults to vpc-tools
• pass: Password for login. Defaults to SomePass
• httpPort: Sets the listener port for HTTP. Defaults to 8081
• httpsPort: Sets the listener port for HTTPS. Defaults to 8082
• httpListener: The running state of the HTTP endpoint flows. Defaults to started. Options: started or stopped. Stop this to disable HTTP endpoint on CloudHub 1.0 or non-RTF infrastructure. This doesn't affect RTF or CloudHub 2.0 because only a single HTTP port is used.
• ignoreFiles: Comma-delimited list of browser-requested resource files for this app to ignore. Defaults to favicon.ico.

• httpsPort and httpPort must always be different numbers, even if httpListener=stopped. This is because both HTTP and HTTPS listener configurations are always created, even if the HTTP endpoint is not enabled.
• CloudHub 2.0 and RTF only use a single port for the HTTP listener. This means you can only run either HTTP or HTTPS, but not both at the same time. Make sure the property you want to use is set to the proper port and the other is set to another unused port.
• When using CloudHub 2.0 and RTF, you must enable Last-Mile Security in the app's Ingress tab if you want to use HTTPS.
• This does not use http.port and https.port properties since those are overrriden on Cloudhub 2.0 and RTF to the same port and will prevent the app from starting because of a port conflict.
