Have a look here: <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Admin/Serverconf">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Admin/Serverconf</A> and search for "8089".</P> <P>If you're concern with security, use a local firewall on the server to prevent unauthorized access to that port.</P> Mon, 02 Mar 2015 23:24:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-port-8089-for-and-can-I-disable-it/m-p/162251#M32926 musskopf 2015-03-02T23:24:17Z
