Ports used by the MPF Operational Analytics

When the MPF Operational Analytics is started, it listens on ports 9500 and 9600.

Port 9500 - HTTP Port

This port can be used for HTTP requests made directly to the MPF Operational Analytics. It is not required to be open and should not be accessible from outside the cluster. It is important to protect this port because foreign commands can be sent directly to the MPF Operational Analytics through this port.

Port 9600 - Transport Port

This port is used for communication between nodes in a cluster. This port should be open to other nodes in the cluster for node communication to work properly. This port should also not be accessible from outside the cluster.

These ports can be changed using the following JNDI properties:

• httpport

• transportport

The following example shows how we can modify the ports.

<jndiEntry jndiName="analytics/httpport" value="9700" />
<jndiEntry jndiName="analytics/transportport" value="9800" />
