16) Can web browser be used over EdgeView
Yes, the EdgeView TCP channel can be used to bridge the browser application on the user's laptop and the remote applications on the device side. For instance, an application with an interface IP address of 10.1.0.135 has a service on port 8080, EdgeView command can specify: 'tcp/10.1.0.135:8080' to launch the channel, and use the browser to point to url 'http://localhost:9001/<path-to-service>'.
17) Will EdgeView work for HTTPs or TLS services with remote applications
The normal EdgeView TCP relay will have problem support HTTPs or TLS protocols, since the source and destination IP addresses are changed and the Certificate content will not find a match. EdgeView supports the special TCP channel method using the proxy mechanism which can used to support the HTTPs or TLS. EdgeView treats the user laptop and remote EVE device as a combined 'virtual proxy server'. The client application points to the proxy IP and port to the laptop (e.g. localhost:9001) and the proxy conversion is performed at the remote EVE device, since the device has the access to the remote application's routing domain. To start EdgeView proxy, run the 'tcp/proxy' command on the laptop, then another client application (for instance a web browser) points to the laptop as its proxy server just as in a normal proxy service setting. For the detail of proxy operation, see Proxy Command.
18) Does remote application need to be on EVE devices for EdgeView access
EVE OS has the EdgeView container built in since release 8.5.0. But the EdgeView container running in 'server' mode can be used in other 'edge' or internal servers to offer basic linux system debugging and remote application access. Some simple changes are needed on the EVE side of the EdgeView code.
19) Why log-search if device log is already uploaded to the controller
Some logs are only present on the device and not uploaded to the controller side. For example, if the application on the device has the setting of 'not send logs'. Even if the logs are sent to the controller, the users of the enterprise may not have directly access to them. EdgeView offers the users of some simple queries for the log entries on the device.
20) Is application port mapping still needed
