Network Traffic Breakdown
This document lists all connections by Altair AI Studio, both incoming and outgoing.
Things of note
- Everything listed here can be blocked or prevented by administrators via the Administration settings.
- Direction denotes who initiated the connection. The actual data flow may be different, but firewalls only care who opened the connection in the first place. Example: Fetching emails would be Outbound - even though you will receive traffic.
- Because Altair AI Studio includes extensions, some extension features will open connections as well (listed below the studio features in the table).
- Extensions (e.g. 3rd party ones) installed via the Marketplace are not listed here!
