How to Customize Event Service Listening Port(s)

Symptom​

You need to customize Threat Manager listening ports for the Event Service due to customer or environmental requirements.

Cause​

Customer or environmental requirements dictate that you change the default Netwrix Threat Manager Event Service listening port(s).

Resolution​

Alter the default Netwrix Threat Manager Event Service listening port(s) via pgAdmin:

  1. Install the latest pgAdmin Console: https://www.pgadmin.org/download/
  2. Contact Netwrix Support to gain access to the Threat Manager database.
  3. Select Tables > defend_config table
  4. Right click and select View/Edit Data > First 100 Rows
  5. Change Value for the port in question on line 2 (10000 is the default File System (FS) port and 10001 is the default Active Directory (AD) port):
[{"id":1,"port":10000,"enabled":true, ...}{"id":2,"port":10001,"enabled":true, ...}{...}]

For example, change the FS port to 514 and click OK:
pgAdmin JSON editor showing the FS port value changed to 514

  1. In the window below click the Save Data Changes icon.
  2. Restart the Threat Manager Event Service.
