# Port Management

SysTrack collects the ports that applications connect to.

![Options that can be set for Port Management](https://cdn.document360.io/87d11426-6b1f-4b19-b593-b71e55a81af3/Images/Documentation/port_management.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-17T09%3A43%3A12Z&se=2026-10-17T10%3A43%3A12Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=r7QkRg%2BBt9Uy8MjCeps21T7LFM%2Bs8GiINBCv1OSAOmw%3D)

**Enable reverse DNS lookup** is the setting with which you can turn off reverse DNS lookup. Note that this will stop the FQDN from being determined from the collected IP address.

**Port data collection interval (mins)** sets the time frequency that port data is collected.

**Port data purge interval (hours)** is how often the data is purged from the database based on the retention period.

**Port data retention Period (days)** is how many days the data is purged from the database.

**UDP Application Exclude List** is the list of applications that you do not want to collect port information.
