DPOD classifies the restarts into 4 5 categories:
- Device Initiated - restarts initiated by the DataPower due to a reason (like e.g. low memory)
- User Initiated - a restart that was initiated by a user via the web interface, CLI, etc.
- First Boot - the first startup of the device
- Unexpected - for example, due to a power failure
- Domain Restart - a user initiated domain restart
DPOD analyzes the restarts by reading the monitored device's audit logs every 15 minutes, you can change this interval from through the Web Console by navigating to Manage→System Parameters→Interval in Seconds to Analyze Audit Logs.
The dashboard consists of Restarts Dashboard contains 4 parts:
- A graph showing the restarts over a timeline
- The Device memory graph (a device initiated restart is often related to memory issues)
- Device and domain restarts table
Last sample time table
Restarts Timeline
The chart shows all the restarts on a timeline.
Zoom over a specific part of the graph to reload apply the page with this time period as a filter.
Click on the restart cause (Device Initiated, User Initiated, etc.) in the legend to reload the page with this restart cause as a filter.

The table shows all the restarts in a chronological order.
| Note |
|---|
| In case When one of the devices was not sampled or analyzed, an error message will appear in the table's header , next to alongside the title. It may suggest that one of the devices is currently experiencing downtime. Check the "Last sampling time" table at the bottom of the page for more information. |
