I have an "Out of the box" application that uses port 5000. I've found that the SolarWinds Agent is also using port 5000. Searching Thwack took me to aLTeReGo 's famous article https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/Product-Blog/Portocalypse-WMI-Demystified/ba-p/441106 However this problem does not seem to be WMI related. If I start this other application/service first, then start the SolarWinds Agent, this error comes up in c:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs_Agent\Cortex\cortex.log file.
2020-09-25 15:35:31,060 [24] WARN Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel - Unable to bind to http://localhost:5000 on the IPv4 loopback interface: 'An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions'.
So is using port 5000 a requirement?
Is this documented somewhere and I just couldn't find it?
Is there a way to change what port this Cortex related service uses?
