Separate Ports for Management
- Stefan Franz
- Armin Franke
tia® Core products provide multiple endpoints for services and server management.
For example, the tia® Content Server Core provides the endpoints:
tia Content Server endpoint | Type of port | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Service port | provides ArchiveLink, CMIS, ILM services (depending on product). |
| Service port | Status user interface. Read more: tia® Status User-Interface |
| Management port | Monitoring the service health and performance. Read more: Monitoring (tC) |
By default, tia® Core products listen for the same port and for all endpoints (parameter server.port with default configuration 8080).
The parameter management.server.port allows to configure the management ports separately. So requests the endpoint actuator are listened to on a separate port.
This can improve security and separation of concerns: On one hand, the SAP system as service receiver must communincate via the service port, while the management port can be blocked by firewall. On the other hand, the management port can be accessible for monitoring tools like Prometheus, while the service port is blocked for monitoring tools.
Example:
Szenario | Ports | Endpoints |
