Network ports

The Foglight® installation process allows you to configure port assignments. The default ports are displayed during installation.

Default port assignments

Table 2. Foglight® Management Server default port assignments
Port Name	Port Number	Outgoing/Incoming
Embedded DB	TCP 15432	Incoming/Outgoing
HTTP	TCP 8080	Incoming
HTTPS	TCP 8443	Incoming
High Availability	UDP 45566 TCP 7800	Incoming/Outgoing
Federation RMI	TCP 1099	Incoming/Outgoing
Federation RMI Service	TCP 4444	Incoming/Outgoing NOTE: Note: If your Federation Master Server is installed behind the firewall, you must configure this port on the Federation Child Server to set up the connection with the server.
QP5	TCP 8448	Incoming/Outgoing

High Availability (HA) refers to running a secondary instance of Foglight as a failover backup server (redundant mode). Foglight listens to the multicast port (45566) only when configured for HA mode.

Table 3. Ports used when Foglight is installed with an external database
Port Name	Port Number	Outgoing/Incoming
External PostgreSQL®	5432	Outgoing
Microsoft® SQL Server®	1433	Outgoing
Oracle®	1521	Outgoing
MySQLTM	3306	Outgoing

Agent adapter ports

Table 4. Agent adapter ports used when configuring the Foglight Administration Console
Port Name	Port Number	Outgoing/Incoming
Agent Manager	8080	Incoming
Agent Manager over SSL	8443	Incoming
Java EE Technology Agent	41705	Incoming

Client communication

The Agent Manager connects to the Management Server using the same HTTP(S) ports as the browser interface. The Agent Manager uses the standard URL format to configure the address of the upstream Management Server; therefore if the port number is changed in the Management Server configuration, it is a simple matter to configure the Agent Manager to use the updated port.

Agent Manager instances that are configured to communicate through a concentrator can use any customer-designated port for their communication with that concentrator host. This needs to be configured on both the upstream and downstream Agent Manager instance.

Some agents hosted by the Agent Manager are run out-of-process, and use local TCP connections to communicate with the master Agent Manager process. Two protocols are used for this local communication: legacy RAPSD for agents which are supported by the Agent Manager, and the Agent Manager’s XML-over-HTTP for new agents implemented with the Agent Manager API (this is the same protocol used by the Agent Manager to connect to the upstream Management Server or concentrators). In both cases, the master Agent Manager process listens for local connections on an available port assigned randomly by the OS from the ephemeral port range. In both cases, these ports will only accept connections from localhost; neither case supports encryption for this local-only traffic.
