[📗 Configure the global telemetry port for a Bindplane Server (Self-Hosted), here.](https://docs.bindplane.com/configuration/bindplane/collector-telemetry-port)
{% endhint %}

Starting with Bindplane Server v1.90.1, you can configure the telemetry port on a per-configuration basis using the Advanced Configuration settings. This allows different configurations to use different telemetry ports.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**IMPORTANT**

You can assign the port per configuration but not per agent. Hosts that cannot use the default port\
`8888` will need to be added to a configuration with a different port configured.

## OpenTelemetry Internal Telemetry

Bindplane uses OpenTelemetry's internal telemetry configuration. For more details about the\
upstream OpenTelemetry telemetry implementation, see the [OpenTelemetry Internal Telemetry documentation](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/internal-telemetry/).

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE**

The upstream OpenTelemetry schema had a breaking change regarding telemetry configuration.

Some time ago, `service.telemetry.metrics.address` was deprecated in favor of\
`service.telemetry.metrics.readers`. BDOT agents v1.74.1 to v1.82.0 support both schemas.\
Depending on the version of Bindplane you are using, the generated configuration may use different\
field names.
