Configuring CA Executive Insight › How to Change the Port

How to Change the Port

You can change the port number for the CA Executive Insight server installation or the web UI installation, if configured. If you change the port on the CA Executive Insight server installation, then you need to update the configuration of the web UI installation to ensure proper communications between the servers.  By default the HTTP port is 8080 and the HTTPS port is 8443.  By default HTTPS protocol is commented out and disabled, see Use HTTPS to Secure Communication to enable HTTPS.

Follow these steps:

1. Use a text editor to open the server.xml file for each installation where you would like to change the port:
   • For server installation, go to: install_dir\product\ServerAndUI\plugins\catalina.start.osgi.config.fragment_1.0.0\conf
   • For web UI installation, go to: install_dir\product\WebUI\plugins\catalina.start.osgi.config.fragment_1.0.0\conf

   install_dir

   Specifies the directory where CA Executive Insight is installed.

2. Modify the connector port for either HTTP or HTTPS connectors depending on your installation.

   <Connector
   	port="8080"
   

3. Update the port for the web UI installation, if necessary, by editing the following:

   install_dir\config\execWebUIConfig.properties

4. Modify this property to have a port number specified above:

   execinsight.backendserver.port=8080

5. Restart the CA Executive Insight server.

   Note: For a web UI installation restart both the server and web UI servers.
