How to Redirect Traffic from Port 8081 to Port 443. SSL encryption is a requirement in many organizations. By default, Artifactory uses HTTP port 8081 to serve traffic. This means that CI pipelines and other developer tools will initially be configured to use this port.

Is syslog TCP or UDP?

UDP
Syslog is originally designed to work over UDP, which can transmit a huge amount of data within the same network with minimal packet loss. However, telco operators prefer to transmit syslog data over TCP, because they need reliable, ordered data transmission between networks.

Is syslog a protocol?

Syslog is a good thing. It’s a standard network-based logging protocol that works on an extremely wide variety of different types of devices and applications, allowing them to send free text-formatted log messages to a central server.

Why is port 8080 default?

“8080” was chosen since it is “two 80’s”, and also because it is above the restricted well known service port range (ports 1-1023, see below). Its use in a URL requires an explicit “default port override” to request a web browser to connect to port 8080 rather than the http default of port 80.

What is the port 22?

By default, port 22 is open on all IBM StoredIQ hosts. The port is used for Secure Shell (SSH) communication and allows remote administration access to the VM. In general, traffic is encrypted using password authentication.
