Manage Ops Manager Hostname and Ports
On this page
Ops Manager must provide a consistent hostname and consistent ports. Follow these procedures to:
Override the default hostname for Ops Manager
Change the default ports for Ops Manager
Enable the health-check endpoints
Note
All of these procedures are optional. You shouldn't need to change these settings unless your Ops Manager Backup Daemons or Ops Manager Application doesn't appear with the correct hostname, or you need to change ports to meet local security concerns.
Override the Ops Manager Hostname
Ops Manager tries to detect its host's FQDN. There might be times when the Ops Manager hosts select the wrong hostname. If you need to override the hostname that Ops Manager selected, you can set Ops Manager to use a hostname that you specify.
Important
If Ops Manager works as expected from the URL you wanted, you can skip this procedure.

Firewall Configuration. The endpoints default to
disabled
.
Enable the Health Check Endpoint
Ops Manager provides an HTTP health-check endpoint. This endpoint is
accessed on port 8090

the endpoint, make sure that another application or process isn't using
port 8090
.
To enable the endpoint:
