LogicMonitor Collector Ports to be used while monitoring end-user devices
LM ChampionReview a full list of protocols and ports required for monitoring User Activity.
This post will provide information regarding the ports, protocols, use case & configuration settings if required that is been used in general, with respect to LM platform.
Using the "<port>/<protocol>" format is a common and standardized way to indicate network ports along with the associated protocols. This format helps provide a clear and concise representation of the port and protocol being discussed below :
Inbound communication :
| Port | Protocol | Use Case | Configuration Setting |
| 162 | UDP | SNMP traps received from target devices | eventcollector.snmptrap.address |
| 514 | UDP | Syslog messages received from target devices | eventcollector.syslog.port |
| 2055 | UDP | NetFlow data received from target devices | netflow.ports |
| 6343 | UDP | sFlow data received from target devices | netflow.sflow.ports |
| 7214 | HTTP/ Proprietary | Communication from custom JobMonitors to Collector service | httpd.port |
| 2056 | UDP | JFlow data received from target devices |
Outbound communication :
| Port | Protocol | Use Case | Configuration Setting |
| 443 | HTTP/TLS | Communication between the Collector and the LogicMonitor data center (port 443 must be permitted to access LogicMonitor’s public IP addresses; If your environment does not allow the Collector to directly connect with the LogicMonitor data centers, you can configure the Collector to communicate through a proxy.) | N/A |
| Other non-privileged | SNMP, WMI, HTTP, SSH, JMX, etc. | Communication between Collector and target resources assigned for monitoring | N/A |
Internal communication :
| Port | Protocol | Use Case | Configuration Setting |
| 7211 | Proprietary | Communication between Watchdog and Collector services to OS Proxy service (sbwinproxy/sblinuxproxy) | sbproxy.port |
| 7212 | Proprietary | Communication from Watchdog service to Collector service | agent.status.port |
| 7213 | Proprietary | Communication from Collector service to Watchdog service | watchdog.status.port |
| 15003 | Proprietary | Communication between Collector service and its service wrapper | N/A |
| 15004 | Proprietary | Communication between Collector service and its service wrapper | N/A |
Destination Ports :
| Port | Protocol | Use Case |
| 135 | TCP | Port 135 is used for DCOM's initial communication and RPC (Remote Procedure Call) endpoint mapping.. DCOM often uses higher port numbers in the range of 49152 to 65535 for dynamically allocated ports |
| 22 | TCP | TCP for SSH connections |
| 80 | UDP | NetFlow data received from target devices |
| 443 | UDP | sFlow data received from target devices |
| 25 | HTTP/ Proprietary | Communication from custom JobMonitors to Collector service |
| 161 | UDP | JFlow data received from target devices |
| 1433 | TCP/UDP | TCP for Microsoft SQL |
| 1434 | TCP/UDP | The protocol used by port 1434 depends on the application that is using the port. For example, SQL Server uses TCP for communication with clients, while the SQL Server Browser service uses UDP |
| 1521 | TCP/UDP | TCP/UDP to listen for database connections from Oracle clients |
| 3306 | TCP/UDP | TCP/UDP for MySQL |
| 5432 | TCP | TCP for PostgreSQL |
| 123 | NTP | Connection from the library to an external NTP server. |
| 445 | TCP | Server Message Block (SMB) protocol over TCP/IP |
LM Collector's monitoring protocols support a number of other monitoring protocols that can be incorporated into this list based on your preferences. Our LM collector supports a number of different monitoring protocols, so we can add to this list as necessary.
Hopefully, through these details shared above, we will be able to understand what ports/protocols are used in LM platform. Thanks!
