Specify the port through which InsightIQ connects.
About this task
By default, InsightIQ runs on the standard HTTPS port of 443.
InsightIQ also listens on the standard HTTP port of 80, but this port is only used to redirect users to the HTTPS port, allowing users to type in a URL in a browser without explicitly adding the port number.
To run InsightIQ on a different TCP port you must modify two different configuration files, make the necessary firewall updates, and then restart InsightIQ.
Steps
Open an SSH connection to the InsightIQ virtual machine and log in.

/etc/isilon/insightiq.ini file, and specify the values for the following options.
