Firewall Configuration

Overview

Ops Manager components use the default ports and health-check endpoints described here.

Ports

Although the following components are logically distinct, the Ops Manager HTTP Service and Backup HTTP Service are part of the Ops Manager Application and typically run on a single system. The Backup Daemon typically runs on a distinct system.

Ops Manager HTTP Service

8080

Web server, available from browsers. The system running the Monitoring Agent must be able to access this port as well.

Backup HTTP Service

8081

Available from browsers for HTTP restores, and from systems running the Backup Agent.

8091

Optional

Used for internal diagnostics. Only available on the localhost interface.

Backup Daemon

8640

A “kill-port” that the control script uses to signal a shutdown.

Only available on the localhost interface.

27500-27503

The Backup Daemon uses this port range to on the localhost interface to run mongod instances to apply oplog entries to maintain the local copies of the backed up database.

8090

Optional

Used for internal diagnostics. Only available on the localhost interface.

Monitoring HTTP Endpoints

Ops Manager provides health-check endpoints for the monitoring of the Ops Manager components via a standard monitoring service, such as Zabbix or Nagios. These endpoints are only accessible on the localhost interface.

Backup HTTP Service Endpoint

The Backup HTTP Service on the Ops Manager Application exposes the following endpoint:

http://localhost:8091/health

The endpoint checks the connections from the service to the Ops Manager Application Database and the Backup Database.

A successful response from the endpoint returns the following:

{
  "mms_db": "OK",
  "backup_db": "OK"
}

Backup Daemon Endpoint

The Backup Daemon on the Backup Daemon server exposes a health-check endpoint at:

http://localhost:8090/health
