New Features 1.0.6
DevOps Services Portal
- DPOD now provides a new self
...
- service DevOps portal for traditional services. This is a new portal dashboard where end-users can:
...
- Search/filter services and see their key configurations.
- Execute two new actions on SOAP Web
- services with local WSDL: validate and promote
- The Validate action
- uploads your new WSDL and schema files to a temporary location,
- validates its compilation and
- creates a temporary WS-Gateway to ensure the object is up.
- Promote action allows uploading a new WSDL and schema files to the target location (device and domain) and creating a new version of the service.
- Execute two new actions
- on SOAP Web
- services with remote WSDL: validate and promote
- The Validate action
- updates a new or existing URL of
- a remote WSDL,
- validates its compilation, and
- creates a temporary WS-Gateway to ensure the object is up.
- The Promote action
- updates a new or existing URL of
- a remote WSDL in a target location (
- Device and
- Domain), and
- creates a
- newer version of the service.
- All actions require permissions set by a security policy (custom roles).
- Each action can may be extended /or customized using PERL Python scripts. Example scripts are open source and may be obtained from a git repository - see docs
Early Failing Requests dashboard
- A Added a new dashboard has been added for early failing requests (such as TLS/SSL failures) , showing requests that were received but were not able - where a request is received but is unable to reach the execution phase of a Processing Rule Processing Rule of a Service - (requires IDG firmware 7.5.2.4+)
Service API Dashboard
DPOD now provides a new dashboard that shows provides statistics pertaining to a service URI, such as service URIs. These statistics include the number of invocations and min/max/avg latency , in addition to the Service API (URL) Dashboard.
Improved User Experience
Users can now save favorite filters filter combinations for later use and use them in subsequent sessions.
- A new free text search field was added to the transactions list page Transactions List page and Raw Messages Page where the user may enter a single value that will be searched across various data fields.
- Service filter now supports auto completion.
- All applicable filters support multi-selection select of values.
- Users can now change the size of the series (number of values) that is displayed in charts of type "top N".
- Add A recent notifications panel that was added to The Navigation Bar. It displays the recent UI notifications of for the user (not persisted).
- Add a A new "Share" button that added. It allows sharing the current page (including filters, transaction ID etc.) by copying/pasting the current URL or by sending it via email
- Add more values to time Time range filters now provides more options: last 10 minutes, start of day, start of week, this month.
- Provide consistent Consistent behavior across pages of drill-down zoom into a transaction or use displayed its value as a filter criteria.
Data Migration Procedure
- From time to time, DPOD customers may require from time to time to be required to install a new DPOD installation while preserving the data already collected. for example:
- Customer deployed DPOD Appliance mode at version v1.0.0 with CentOS 6.7 and now requires to migrate to CentOS 7.2 introduced at version v1.0.2+.
- Customer deployed DPOD on a virtual server but since then load has increased and it is required to move to physical servers to handle the loadnow requires a physical server.
- Customer deployed DPOD Appliance mode but wants to migrate to Non-Appliance mode (based on RHEL) to better comply with their organization 's security requirements and standards.
- New procedure and tools were introduced for customers to migrate introduced to support customers with migration of an existing DPOD Store data to a new DPOD installation for in each of the scenarios above.
New Features 1.0.5
...
API Connect Integration
DPOD now has new capabilities when coupled with API Connect v5.0.7.2+ (API-C) and DPOD
Display a dedicated transaction list with only API-C transactions
Filter by API-C fields (e.g. API name, API version, catalog, HTTP method, API urls and a dozen more fields)
Calculate and display latency graphs for each policy execution inside an API (including custom policies)
Provide both API-C and DataPower views of the same transaction, and the ability to switch between them
A new dashboard of APIs and the date they were last executed in the system.
API payloads may now be captured
Automatically run setup DPOD log targets for each new API-C domain created. (This requires enablement in the monitored device configuration). Further configuration based on domain name prefix is available.
To activate API-C integration, perform (from the Web Console) a re-configuration of all your log targets in the DataPower that runs the API-C domain. You can also use the auto-setup feature to handle API-C domains created in the future.
Maintenance Plan for Syncing DataPower Appliance Configuration () - see limitations
DPOD now provides a multitude of syncing capabilities:
...
To activate Side Call Analysis on DPOD run re-configuration of all your log targets in the DataPower that runs the API-C domain.
