This page covers the ports used by Agent 5. For information on the latest version of the Agent, see Network Traffic.

All outbound traffic is sent over SSL through TCP or UDP.

Ensure the Agent is only accessible by your applications or trusted network sources using a firewall rule or similar network restriction. Untrusted access can allow malicious actors to perform several invasive actions, including but not limited to writing traces and metrics to your Datadog account, or obtaining information about your configuration and services.

Open the following ports to benefit from all the Agent functionalities:

Outbound

443/tcp
Port for most Agent data (Metrics, APM, Live Processes & Containers).
123/udp
Port for NTP (more details on the importance of NTP).
See default NTP targets.

Inbound

6062/tcp
Port for the debug endpoints for the Process Agent.
6162/tcp
Port for configuring runtime settings for the Process Agent.
8125/udp
Port for DogStatsD unless dogstatsd_non_local_traffic is set to true. This port is available on localhost: 127.0.0.1, ::1, fe80::1.
8126/tcp
Port for the APM Receiver.
17123/tcp
Agent forwarder, used to buffer traffic in case of network splits between the Agent and Datadog.
