Update Listening Ports of Connectors

Update the listening port on a connector in Secure Workload Ingest appliance. Secure Workload sends the command to the appliance controller on the appliance where the command is issued. The controller does the following actions:

  • Stops the Docker service corresponding to the connector.

  • Collect the current running configuration of the service.

  • Remove the Docker service.

  • Update the running configuration of the service to use the new ports.

  • Start a new container from the same Docker image that was used in the removed container with new exposed ports. Also, if a Docker volume was mounted to the removed container earlier, the same volume is mounted to the new container.

  • Return the new IP bindings of the connector to Secure Workload.

  • Secure Workload shows the result in a text box.
