Is it possible to change the current port (8089) of communication between the forwarder and the deployment server?

[SirHill17]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to change the port of communication between the forwarder and its deployment-server (8089) to another one?

I would like to do it only for one host because the port 8089 is already used by another application.

What are the steps to follow?

Thanks for your help.

Yes. You can by changing splunk's management port in settings->general settings.
Be careful because this port, apart from deployment server, is also used for other splunk functions.
More info from docs:

Thanks for that. What I wanted was to changed the management port on the Forwarder itself. I created a custom web.conf file and changed the value 8089 to 8888.
