Dashboard port number
By default, the Connector Dashboard uses port 5679. The port number is determined by
the value of the variable server.dashboardPort in the adaptor-config.properties
file for the connector. You can change the Connector Dashboard port number by changing
the default value in this file. Every instance of a connector running on a host must have a
unique value for server.dashboardPort.
