What is the port number used by TSM (Tableau Services Manager)?

The correct answer is 8850, which is the default port for Tableau Services Manager (TSM). TSM is a web-based application that allows administrators to manage Tableau Server settings, perform administrative tasks, and configure various aspects of the server environment.

The use of port 8850 specifically is designed to handle communication related to TSM, providing an interface for the administration and management of Tableau Server. This port is crucial for accessing the TSM interface, which helps in monitoring and managing server components efficiently.

In terms of the other options, while ports like 27000 are used by Tableau Services for licensing and data connectivity, they do not pertain specifically to TSM. Similarly, ports 443 and 8080 are associated with web traffic and can be used for accessing Tableau Server or other web applications, but they do not define the particular port used exclusively for TSM functionalities. Understanding the purpose of each port helps in configuring and troubleshooting server settings effectively in Tableau.
