## Changing the port Prometheus listens on
>**Note:**
The following change was added in [GitLab Omnibus 8.17][1261]. Although possible,
it's not recommended to change the default address and port Prometheus listens
on as this might affect or conflict with other services running on the GitLab
server. Proceed at your own risk.
To change the address/port that Prometheus listens on:
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`
1. Find and add/uncomment the following line:
```ruby
prometheus['listen_address'] = 'localhost:9090'
```
Replace `localhost:9090` with the address/port you want Prometheus to
listen on.
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][reconfigure] for the changes to
take effect
