How to change Agent Port

How to change Agent Port

You may wish to change the port that Leapwork Agent listens on from the default one (6777) to a different value if another application is already running on the default one as that will cause the Agent service to fail during startup.

Changing the port settings manually
The (very) manual way of changing the port number and avoiding a re-installation is described in the following:

  1. Stop the Leapwork Agent:

    • Press Win+R combination to open the Run dialog.
    • Type ‘services.msc’ and press Enter to open Services window.
    • Find Leapwork Agent service and stop it using the right mouse button click and “Stop” command.

  2. Change Leapwork Agent port:

    • Navigate to C:\Program Files\Leapwork\Agent.
    • Find the "agent.config" file and open it as administrator using Notepad.
    • Change “AgentPort” to some other port (shown below) save and close the config file.

  3. Start Leapwork Agent service. Just follow the steps from point number 1, but use the “Start” command at the last step.

Port is now changed, make sure you open TCP Port{new Agent port} in your firewall before testing connection.

Once firewall port is open test agent connection using Leapwork Studio as shown below.
