DPOD is tailored for DataPower and is built on DataPower deep knowledge, making it IBM’s premier tool for monitoring and management of DataPower gateways.
DPOD uses many methods and sources of information to collect information from DataPower.
DPOD provides debug-level transactional data and transaction logs for debugging, troubleshooting and fixing DataPower transactional issues.
DPOD monitors the configuration of the DataPower gateways (failed objects, certificate expiry, etc.).
DPOD includes DataPower configuration management features (backups, firmware upgrades, import services, etc.).
DPOD accelerates the development/testing and adoption of APIs/services, by providing great value for DataPower experts and for users with zero DataPower expertise in prod and non-prod, based on roles and permissions.
DPOD provides everything out-of-the-box (dashboards, error analysis, alerts, etc.) with almost zero maintenance and configuration efforts.
