Apache Mesos agent (registered as ita-agent)

The Mesos agent port in modern clusters; registered to Symantec's Intruder Alert agent.

TCP UDP IANA registry

Description

IANA registers 5051 as ita-agent, the agent side of Symantec's Intruder Alert host intrusion detection product, which is long discontinued. What you find on 5051 today is normally an Apache Mesos agent, whose default --port is 5051 while the master uses 5050. The agent exposes HTTP endpoints describing the tasks and executors running on that host.

Do not expose

A Mesos agent endpoint reveals what is running on the node and is part of the cluster control path; keep it on the internal network alongside the master.
