Port configuration

The Central Management Repository uses two ports for communication. The port 9070 is used for RMI service registry and the port 9071 for actual communication with an Agent. Be sure that a firewall is not blocking the mentioned ports, since then the CMR will not be able to start.

If for any reason these ports are not available for usage, a user can manually change the ports by altering the properties in the [CMR]/config/default.xml file. After changing please restart the CMR and make sure that the newly defined registry port is also altered in Agent configuration files.

RMI Port

RMI is used for data exchange between Agent and CMR. To adjust this port, do the following:

• Agent
  • modify port configuration file --> repository [IP] [PORT] [Agent Name]
• CMR

  • Change default-value of the cmr.registryPort property in the default configuration file:

    <long-property name="Registry Port" default-value="portNumber" server-restart-required="true" logical-name="cmr.registryPort" advanced="false" description="The port used for RMI service registry.">

HTTP Port

Between CMR and UI HTTP is used as the communication protocol. To adjust this port, do the following:

• CMR

  • Change default-value of the jetty.port property in the default configuration file:

    <long-property name="Port" default-value="portNumber" server-restart-required="true" logical-name="jetty.port" advanced="false" description="Port that will be opened for the communication to the inspectIT User interface.">

• UI
  • Add a new Repository Definition with the desired port number
