Web and DB Question

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.41.6.9685

I am setting up monitoring of my Plex VM. I need the following:

  1. Type of DB and any port used
  2. Type of web instance and any port used

Thanks,
Steve

The DB is not a separate process. It doesn’t have a separate port either.

What do you mean? The web app is running in your web browser, after it has been loaded into it.

How is the DB present then??? Second are you using something like Apache for serving up web pages?

Plex uses the SQLite3 database engine and its API. Plex interacts with it directly via its API, not via a network connection. The “Features” and “When to use SQLite” sections of the linked page can be very useful in understanding why it’s used for these types of applications.

There are no web pages in Plex. The only thing that is similar to a web server is the part that allows a web browser to load the local web app.
Everything else is just the web app communicating with Plex via json or XML. All that you see in the web app is generated by your web browser.
It looks like a web page but it isn’t one.
