Accessing Node Devices from Hub

[MHabiib]

Hello everyone,

I have a scenario where I need to access a device connected to a node from the hub using Appium Inspector. Here's the setup:

Hub IP: 123.0.0.1:4723 (no devices connected directly to the hub)
Node IP: 789.0.0.1:4723 (one device connected with UDID "ABCD-EFGH")
I'm wondering if it's possible to access the device on the node through the hub. Specifically, I want to use the Appium Inspector to inspect the device connected to the node via the hub.

Example Scenario
I want to connect to the device using the following configuration:

Hub URL: http://123.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub
Desired Capabilities: {"appium:udid": "ABCD-EFGH"}
Is it feasible to access the node device in this way? If so, what would be the correct setup and configuration to achieve this?

Same as using Appium Client
URL remoteUrl = new URL("http://123.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub");

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
capabilities.setCapability("df:udids", "ABCD-EFGH");
capabilities.setCapability("appium:platformVersion", "18.0");
capabilities.setCapability("appium:deviceName", "iPhone 14 Pro");
capabilities.setCapability("appium:automationName", "XCUITest");

driver = new IOSDriver(remoteUrl, capabilities);

Thank you for your assistance!

Thanks, @saikrishna321 , for the quick reply and information. I think issues with my configuration are causing it not to work.
