Before You Begin

Before you begin adding new monitored devices to DPOD, you can may backup the objects that the DPOD will alter during the configuration phase. objejct like , such as the XML management interface, the WS-M agent etc.,
For detailed information regarding IDG DPOD related objects backup and restore see : Backing up and Restoring DPODs IDG related configuration

Before you can add a new monitored device to DPOD, ensure to perform the following:

  1. Check routing and access from a monitored device:
    The DataPower Gateway needs to route packets to DPOD Agents through the desired interface. Validate through the DataPower's [control panel->Troubleshooting->TCP Connection Test]
  2. Log In To -in to DPOD Web Console

Add The Device In DPOD

Warning

Adding a device with a locale other than EN may cause some DPOD features to not work as expected

  1.  Inside DPOD's Web Console, navigate to Monitored Devices  [Manage->Devices->Monitored Devices] and click on “Add Device”
  2. Enter the information required. (Consult Device Management for details)
    Note that the device name must be identical to the System Identifier/Appliance Name of the DataPower Gateway as set in the IDG itself, and must meet the requirements detailed in http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21668456.



  3. Click “Add”
  4. DPOD will add the device. (Verify by locating the new device in the list of monitored devices)


Info

When updating the "Log Target Source Address" after the device was added and syslog was setup for the device , the user must setup the syslog for device again in order for the change to take effect on the monitored device (see next item "Setup Syslog For The New Monitored Device" ).


Configure The New Monitored Device

  1. On Inside DPOD's Web Console, navigate to the devices list page [Manage->Devices->Monitored Devices]
  2. Click the name of the device you added in the previous step
  3. Click "Setup” and wait for an informative green message at the top does s this do? how is this now 'configured'? are the following sections 'inside'?

Domains may be redirected to different Syslog agents according to the architecture design. If this is the case, set up each domain separately as documented below

...

Auto Setup Domains (Optional)

  • Under "WS-M Setup for Device", click "Setup WS-M for all domains" and wait until the action completes successfully.
  • Note: You may elect to only enable WS-M for specific domains. If this is the case, setup each domain separately as documented below.

...

This feature will automatically detect and setup new domains created on the monitored device. This is especially useful for dynamically created API Connect domains.
Select a Syslog agent that the domains should report to, enter the domain pattern (use asterisk as wildcard) and click save.
DPOD will scan the monitored devices every 2 minutes and will setup the new domain. You may change the scan interval on the system parameters page. (A UI service restart is required after changing this interval)

For supported WS-M payload capture services see IDG WS-M payload capture support

Consult System Parameters List for information regarding the time interval parameter.

Tip

This feature can be performed at a service or domain level.

Warning

This step will start recording payloads of transactions for a specific amount of time (1 hour is the default configuration). You may run this later when you need payloads recorded. You may choose to record payload for a specific domain. If this is the case, please subscribe each domain separately as documented below.
