Operations Manager
**Operations Manager** uses TCP port 5723, primarily for communication in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). It enables monitoring agents to connect securely with management servers, facilitating the collection of performance data, health status, and alerts across the IT environment..
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) relies heavily on port 5723/TCP for agent-to-management server communication. The agent installed on monitored systems collects health information, performance counters, and event data, sending this information over port 5723 to the management server. This communication enables centralized monitoring and alerting.
Typically, port 5723 is used in conjunction with the Operations Manager Management Service, which manages authentication, configuration updates, and data collection from agents. It supports secure, certificate-based encryption but can be configured otherwise, depending on system settings and network policies.
Operations Manager connects distributed applications, systems, and devices within an organizational environment. Besides monitoring, port 5723 is involved during agent installation, configuration changes, and policy updates. Proper functioning of this communication channel is crucial for timely detection of system health issues and for orchestrating responses.
