Description

The COMPONENT_PORT option specifies the IP port on which components communicate with the Universal Broker.

The content of messages exchanged over this connection includes, but is not necessarily limited to:

  • Local configuration information
  • Local component registration
  • Information reported to and managed by the Universal Event Subsystem (UES)

These messages are exchanged on all supported Agent platforms; however, Windows is the only platform that relies on TCP/IP to implement the connection. That is why a separate, configurable IP port is provided for Windows. Other platforms rely on Unix domain sockets to implement the connection.

Configuration File Keyword

component_port port



(tick)


Value

port is the IP port.

Valid values for port are:

  • Numbers (for example, 7000)
  • Service name (for example, ubrokercmp)


Default is 7987.


Note

By default, the Agent adds 100 to the value used for the Universal Broker service port (default: 7887). If another service already is listening on the calculated COMPONENT_PORT value, use another value to avoid collision with the existing service. Simply add component_port to the Universal Broker configuration file (if it is not already there) and set it to the desired value.
