Review 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!
