How to change the influxd bind address and port in the case of a port conflict.
Release : 20.2
Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER
The influxdb uses tcp port 8088. If another application is using that same port you may need to change the port.
Add the following to the $SPECROOT/influx/influxdb_spectrum.conf file:
bind-address = "127.0.0.1:9088"
After you add the above entry to the file, do the following:
Navigate to the $SPECROOT/bin directory and run the following command:
./cmdC <hostname> 2 INFLUX
This command will stop the influxd process. Now we want to restart it. You can do that by running the launchinstdbapp command from the $SPECROOT/bin directory:
./launchinstdbapp <hostname> INFLUX y INFLUX.OUT
The above command will restart the influxd process and you should now see the influxd running on port 9088. You can verify that by running the following command:
netstat -ano -p | grep 9088
