System port configuration

The appsettings.json file specifies the port on which Edge Data Store (EDS (Edge Data Store)) listens for REST API (REpresentational State Transfer - Application Programming Interface) calls. EDS (Edge Data Store) uses the same port for configuration and for writing data to Open Message Format (OMF (Open Message Format)) and Sequential Data Store (SDS (Sequential Data Store)). The default port is 5590. Valid ports are in the range of 1024-65535. During installation, a prompt allows you to specify a non-default port.

Reconfigure system port

Before changing the port, ensure that no other service or application on the device running EDS (Edge Data Store) uses that port because only one application or service can use a port. After reconfiguring the port, you must restart EDS (Edge Data Store) for the changes to take effect.

To reconfigure the port:

1. Open the appsettings.json file in a text editor.

   This file is located in C:\Program Files\OSIsoft\EdgeDataStore\ on Windows, in /opt/OSIsoft/EdgeDataStore/ on Linux, or in the location specified during installation.

2. Change the port value to a valid value between 1024 and 65535 and save the file.

3. Restart the EDS (Edge Data Store) service.
