Network Port Requirements

To successfully set up your Avantra environment you will need to understand the communication and port requirements for an Avantra installation. There are three areas that require attention:

This guide is not designed to be a comprehensive guide for all SAP products. You can find a list of ports required for SAP products here.

Server Ports

Server incoming ports

Port Used for Communication type

80 / 8080 (not recommended)

WebUI non-secure port - can be disabled during or after installation.

Insecure web communications

8443 / 443

WebUI secure port that is selected by the administrator during installation.

Secure web communications (HTTPS)

9050

Incoming communication to your Avantra from remote agents.

Secure communications however please note it can also be used for the download of the Avantra Agent and Java packages only via HTTP.

9058

Diagnostics WebUI for use in health-check and support scenarios.

Typically only used when working with Avantra support on an issue and should be disabled in the Avantra server settings when not in use (configuration item Web.http-server in "Administration" - "Avantra Master" should be set to off).

5701

Communication with Hazelcast cluster for managing workflows and connections from the UI side on the Avantra master server. It can be configured using the master settings global.hazelcast-port and global.hazelcast-port-count. If the port is blocked with a firewall, the workflows cannot be started.

5432

Standard Postgres JDBC port used for communicating with the Avantra database.

JDBC

1433

Microsoft SQL port for communication outgoing from the Avantra Server to the Avantra database.

MSSQL

443

HTTPS communications to API endpoints such as the Avantra license activation service, Public cloud API endpoint and SAP APIs.

HTTPS

25, 587, 465

Ports for managing email notifications from the Avantra Server, the specific port number depends on the SMTP server configuration.

Notification email

Agent Ports

Agent incoming ports

Port Used for Communication type

9051

Incoming communication to your Avantra Agent from the Avantra server (or Avantra Gateway if using one).

Secure communications however please note it can also be used for the download of the Avantra Agent and Java packages only via HTTP.

Agent outgoing ports

Port Used for Communication type

33XX

Note this usually happens within the monitored server i.e. doesn’t normally need a port to be opened as it is communicating all within the same host. Communication between the on-server agent and an SAP installation. XX depends on the SAP instance number.

SAP RFC

5xx13 (http) or 5xx14 (https)

Note this usually happens within the monitored server i.e. doesn’t normally need a port to be opened as it is communicating all within the same host. Communication with the SAP System Database. XX depends on the SAP instance number.

HTTP(s)

81xx and 36xx

Note this usually happens within the monitored server i.e. doesn’t normally need a port to be opened as it is communicating all within the same host. Communication with the SAP Message Server. XX depends on the SAP instance number.

HTTP(s)

Database ports

If monitoring a database on the host e.g. PostgreSQL, HANA, MySQL then the agent would communicate locally with the default (or specified) port to monitor that object.

JDBC

Web Ports

Custom checks or cloud services interacting with API endpoints as defined by you.

HTTP(s)

Agentless system monitoring or RISE with SAP environments

If you are using remote monitoring (where the Avantra Agent is not present on the host where a database or SAP System resides and you are monitoring over the network) then you will need to ensure that the Agent that is performing the monitoring over the network has the required port access to achieve that connectivity.

For example, if you’re in a RISE with SAP environment and remote monitoring an SAP system with an SAP HANA database, then you will need to ensure that the following ports are open:

  • HANA Database JDBC connection - port 30015

  • SAP System Message server - ports 81xx and 36xx (xx = instance number)

  • SAP System Database - either port 5xx13(http) or 5xx14(https)

  • SAP System RFC - port 33xx (xx = instance number)
