UIM - IIS probe using port 443 on windows server

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

iis probe randomly starts using the port 443 and impacted application IIS (web service) which cannot start as this port is already in use




Can we set the iis probe to run with selected or static port ?

Environment

Release : 9.2.0

Component : UIM - IIS

Resolution

From iis.cfg filterport looks set to 443




Filter port: specifies the port to communicate between the IIS Server and the probe. 
Specify the same port number in the probe and the IIS server to ensure connectivity. This option is used to monitor the IIS server remotely.
Default: 999

Changing filterport to default 999 resolved the issue
