Firewall configuration: Default ports

The following table describes the standard ports used by the Portal servers, the Data Collector servers, and any embedded third-party software products as part of a standard "out-of-the-box" installation.

Note:

IT Analytics uses standalone installation of single-node Apache ZooKeeper server. For secure communications, ZooKeeper single-node cluster must be protected from external traffic using network security such as firewall. This is remediated by ensuring that the ZooKeeper port (2181) is only accessible on the local host where IT Analytics Portal/Data Collector is installed (that includes Apache ZooKeeper).
