Hello,

I have an interrogation about changing the exporter listen port (node exporter, msql exporter, postgres exporter, etc), because I need to change some due to application tcp listener conflicts.

How can we manage that ? Is there a config file somewhere ?

If you have the solution thanks you.

Hi,  
The flag --service-port has to be used.  
e.g.  
# pmm-admin add mysql:metrics --service-port 9197  
  
2020/04/21 09:56:03 lsof: multiple sockets detected for pid(s) [14038 14570 15261], choosing first one: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, /tmp/PS\_NODE\_1.sock  
  
OK, now monitoring MySQL metrics using DSN root:\*\*\*@unix(/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock)  
# lsof -i :9197 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
