The ports the oneagentos service uses should be picked at random from available ports on the host itself and it might also change every few minutes as we switch from endpoint to endpoint. But you can change the watch dog port so it doesn’t clash with the monitoring ports the customer is using.

Use the&nbsp;--set-watchdog-portrange=arg&nbsp;parameter to change the watchdog listening port range to&nbsp;\<arg\>. The&nbsp;\<arg\>&nbsp;must contain two port numbers separated by a colon (:). For example&nbsp;50000:50100. The maximum supported port range is from 1024 to 65535. The port range must cover at least 4 ports. The port number starting the range must be lower.

- **Linux** &nbsp;or&nbsp; **AIX** :  
./oneagentctl --set-watchdog-portrange=50000:50100
- **Windows** :  
.\oneagentctl.exe --set-watchdog-portrange=50000:50100
