Hello,
We normally use methods like Telnet/Test-NetConnection for connection checking via specific ports, but there's a case where support asked us to use the Qlik Sense Util tool to check the connection for our multi-node Qlik Sense deployment. However, we encountered some questions while using the tool. We'd appreciate it if someone could provide assist with the questions below.
E.g:
The tool tests the connection through the ports.
How to specify the source node?
Why does the result include port (4248) that are not listed in the port requirements?
Thanks,
Jin
Util tool provides the basic ports check, I believe you've got error from 4248 and 4545 when you run the connection checker, pls ignore that.
For ports requirement, pls follow the help document.

Util connection checker is the basic checking tool for the ports requirement by Qlik Sense, and it fulfill the port requirement in the most of situation. if it's multi nodes environment, run the Util connection checker in each nodes. It will let you know if the ports connection status between central node and each rim nodes.
Hi Jin,
Have you checked this article?
"Qlik Sense Port Checker: Pings every active port Qlik sense is using for every node. Note that some ports can be for internal use and might not be exposed to the node you are pinging from."
I think this answers your questions.
Dear @Jack_Guo ,
Thanks for your reply. I have corrected my questions and I believe the article you shared does not include the info for those.
1. Run Qlik Sense Util on the node that you want to test connections from.
2. https://community.qlik.com/t5/Management-Governance/Qlik-Sense-ports-4248-and-4248/td-p/907361
3. If Qlik Sense Util says things are ok, your QA deployment should be in order. I don't see a reason why you should also perform testing using Telnet.
