For self-hosted Bindplane server deployments, you can configure the collector's telemetry port globally, which affects all collectors managed by Bindplane.

## Configuration File

Add the `agent.telemetryPort` option to the `advanced` section of your Bindplane configuration file:

```yaml
advanced:
  agent:
    telemetryPort: 8888
```

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

See the [June 19, 2024 release notes](https://docs.bindplane.com/changelog/june-2024/2024-06-19-release#agent-metrics-port) for more information.
{% endhint %}

## Server Flag

When starting the Bindplane server, use the `--advanced-agent-telemetry-port` flag:

```bash
bindplane serve --advanced-agent-telemetry-port 8888
```

## Environment Variable

Set the `BINDPLANE_ADVANCED_AGENT_TELEMETRY_PORT` environment variable:

```bash
export BINDPLANE_ADVANCED_AGENT_TELEMETRY_PORT=8888
```
