Port monitoring service
The port monitoring service periodically checks availability of ports that are needed by an IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager master server for communication in the Multi-Master cluster.
When the agent service in an IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager master
is started, the port monitoring service automatically starts monitoring availability of the ports at
regular intervals if IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager instance is not
of type Local
. You can view the availability status by using IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager graphical user interface or REST interface. For
more information about the agent service, see Agents.
You can use the port.monitoring.svc.interval property in the <SKLM_HOME>\config\SKLMConfig.properties file, for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\products\sklm\config\SKLMConfig.properties to configure the port monitoring interval. For more information about the configuration property, see port.monitoring.svc.interval.
For the definition of <SKLM_HOME>, see Definitions for HOME and other directory variables.
