Before You Begin
Before you add a new monitored device to DPOD, ensure to perform the following:
- You may backup the objects that DPOD will alter during the configuration phase, 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 DPOD IDG Related Configuration. - Check network routing and access from the monitored device.
The DataPower Gateway needs to route packets to DPOD agents through the desired interface. You may validate this through the DataPower Web GUI: [Control panel → Troubleshooting → TCP Connection Test] - Make sure the device locale is set to EN. Adding a device with a locale other than EN may cause some DPOD features to not work as expected.

Domain Level Configuration (Optional)
You can use specific domain level configuration in the following cases:
1. Your architectural design dictates a different configuration for domains on the same gateway.
2. You want to enable WS-M and syslog collection only for specific domains.
Switch to the "domains" tab, a list of all domains will be retrieved from the gateway, click on the domain you wish to setup.
Syslog setup (Optional)
Select the desired Analysis Level, select the desired Syslog Agent according to the architecture design and click "Setup Syslog".
Domain WS-M setup (Optional)
Select the desired WS-M Agent according to the architecture design and click "Setup WS-M”.
