How to disable port 1920 used by IBM Log Analysis LFA to contact IBM Tivoli Monitoring?

Question & Answer


Question

IBM Log Analysis LFA is communicating that uses port 1920 with IBM Tivoli Monitoring. How do I disable this port?

Answer

We can disable the LFA port without shutting down this service. Here are the steps:

$ cd <LA_HOME>/IBM-LFA-6.30/config

$ vi lo.ini
 

Add "HTTP:0" at the end of existing setting of KDC_FAMILIES variable. For example,

Existing configuration:

KDC_FAMILIES=$NETWORKPROTOCOL$

 

New configuration:

KDC_FAMILIES=$NETWORKPROTOCOL$ HTTP:0

 

 Then, run:

$ ../bin/itmcmd config -o default_workload_instance -A -p ../../work_files/Configurations/Data_Collector/klo_silent_config.txt lo

 

Restart Log Analysis:

$ <LA_HOME>/utilities/unity.sh -stop

$ <LA_HOME>/utilities/unity.sh -start
 

Verify whether port 1920 is disabled.
