To set a custom hostname and IP port for an instance of the ServiceControl service:
Anyone who can access the ServiceControl URL has complete access to the message data stored within ServiceControl. This is why the default is to only respond to the localhost. Consider carefully the implications of exposing ServiceControl via a custom or wildcard URI.
Using ServiceControl Management

ServiceControl Management will then validate the settings changes and restart the service to apply the changes.
Updating ServicePulse Configuration to ServiceControl Custom Hostname
Refer to the ServicePulse documentation for guidance on how to configure a standalone ServicePulse to connect to ServiceControl.
When using integrated ServicePulse, no such update is needed. It is preconfigured to connect to the Error instance that hosts it using a relative URL, so it follows the custom hostname automatically. See Remote access to integrated ServicePulse.
