Open metrics ports

Access Gateway communicates over port 8889 using TCP/HTTP.

During this task you configure your firewall to allow communication on port 8889.

To open port 8889 on your firewall:

  1. Determine the IP address of all instances of Access Gateway being monitored. See Determine Access Gateway IP address.
  2. For each address in the list:
    1. Add require configuration to allow traffic between monitoring clients, typically Prometheus, and Access Gateway cluster instances.
    2. Test traffic as required.
  3. Save all firewall changes.
