**Note** : OS is Ubuntu 20.04 and running Elastic Agent v7.15.1

I'm trying to setup a Fleet Server on my server and Elastic-Agent doesn't seem to be respecting the option for specifying my Fleet Server URL endpoint via the Kibana UI? For example, please see the screenshots and command below:

1. I try to start Fleet with the following command:

```auto
sudo ./elastic-agent install -f --fleet-server-es=http://localhost:9200 --fleet-server-service-token=<hidden> --fleet-server-policy=<hidden> --insecure

```

And get the following output:

```auto
2021-10-26T20:29:22.075-0400 INFO cmd/enroll_cmd.go:372 Generating self-signed certificate for Fleet Server
2021-10-26T20:29:28.088-0400 INFO cmd/enroll_cmd.go:724 Fleet Server - Starting

Successfully enrolled the Elastic Agent.

```

As you can see in the above output, it says:

```auto
Starting enrollment to URL: https://elastic:8220/

```

I literally can't find any references of this saved in either the Kibana UI or in my files.

In the Kibana Logs I see:

```auto

[elastic_agent][error] Could not communicate with fleet-server Checking API will retry, error: fail to checkin to fleet-server: Post "https://elastic:8220/api/fleet/agents/<hidden>/checkin?": dial tcp <hidden>:8220: connect: connection refused

```

Here's my Fleet Server config in the Kibana UI:

Can anyone assist me as to where the heck Elastic Agent is pulling this URL/Port from, and why my custom value `Fleet Server host` in the Kibana UI is not working? ☹

**Note** : I've also tried uninstall `elastic-agent` completely as well.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

**tldr** : Elastic Agent is outputing "Starting enrollment to URL: [https://elastic:8220/](https://elastic:8220/)" when i've set my Fleet Server URL to "[https://elastic:3001](https://elastic:3001)" in the Kibana UI which causes the Fleet Server to crash subsequently.

Hi @dmitryyankowski

Did you change the port in the default fleet server policy -\> fleet server integration too? otherwise fleet server will start by default on port 8220
