Issue/Introduction

The Digital Experience Collector configuration appears to ignore changes made in the application.properties file in folder dxc/EC/DxC/conf

 

We have defined the management port value as follows

management.port=9988

However it continues to use port 9999 

 

$ netstat -nap | grep 9999

Environment

Release : 10.7.0

Component : DXC

Cause

The values specified in the application.properties file are overridden by a corresponding file contained in the main DXC jar file DigitalExperienceCollector-2.4.0.6-2018_12_21_07_47.jar

Resolution

Currently the use of port 9999 is effectively not configurable
