Port number in event field

Sorry for a beginners question, but I have been thrown in the deep end with this.

I have an error.log file, in the event part for each entry it shows [time] [error] [pid number] [IP address:Port number] and then some text.

Does the Port number refer to the IP address shown or to the server creating the error log?

Thanks.

Thanks, that's what I expected but had hoped it was showing the internal port number.

There's a 99.9999% chance the port number refers to the IP address.

I'd say 100%. That is standard network convention.
