The manager exposes APIs to interact with the Cloud Agent the and the DataPower Gateways. It is using the HTTPS protocol.

The following properties (in the Cloud Agent CR) control the way DPOD can communicate communicates with the manager:

  • externalHost - The external host for accessing the manager from outside the cluster. It is the user’s responsibility to configure this host as a DNS entry that is available to DPOD. You can inspect the generated host in .status.endpoints of the Cloud Agent CR (see also Endpoints).

  • externalPort - The external port for accessing the manager from outside the cluster (default is 443).

  • incomingTrafficMethod - The method of exposing the manager to incoming traffic from outside the cluster. Available options are:

    • Route (default and available for OpenShift only) - the operator will create a Service and a Route resources.

    • NodePort (default for Kubernetes) - the operator will create a NodePort Service resource.

    • Custom - see “Custom Network Configuration” above.

  • incomingTrafficPort - The port for exposing the manager to incoming traffic from outside the cluster (when incomingTrafficMethod is NodePort, default is the value of externalPort).

Cloud Agent Messaging

The messaging allows DPOD to receive serves the collected transactional data. It is using the Kafka protocol.

The following properties (in the Cloud Agent CR) control the way DPOD can communicate communicates with the messaging:

  • externalHost - The external host for accessing the messaging from outside the cluster. This value will be published by the messaging brokers (Kafka). The bootstrap endpoint will use this host, and each messaging broker will use a consecutive host name with its number at the end of the first part of the FQDN. It is the user’s responsibility to configure these hosts as DNS entries that are available to DPOD. You can inspect the list of the generated hosts in .status.endpionts of the Cloud Agent CR (see also Endpoints).

  • externalPortStart - The starting external port for accessing the messaging from outside the cluster. The bootstrap endpoint will use this port, and each messaging broker will use a consecutive port (default is 30100).

  • incomingTrafficMethod - The method of exposing the messaging to incoming traffic from outside the cluster. Available options are:

    • NodePort (default) - the operator will create NodePort Service resources (one for the bootstrap <CR name>-msg-bse-svc and one for each messaging broker <CR name>-msg-dir-svc-<broker number>).

    • Custom - see “Custom Network Configuration” above.

  • incomingTrafficPortStart - The starting port for exposing the messaging to incoming traffic from outside the cluster (when incomingTrafficMethod is NodePort). The bootstrap endpoint will use this port, and each messaging broker will use a consecutive port (default is the value of externalPortStart).
