Before adding new monitored devices to DPOD, you may backup the objects that the 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 DPODs IDG related configuration
Before you add a new monitored device to DPOD, ensure to perform the following:
Adding a device with a locale other than EN may cause some DPOD features to not work as expected |
Enter the required information. (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.
If you wish to add a Tenant device, enter the landlord's name but use the tenant's SOMA port, DPOD will display the tenant's name as tenant@landlord |
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 (see below) in order for the change to take effect on the monitored device (see next item "Setup Syslog For The New Monitored Device" ). |
If you change DPOD's or the monitored device's IP address, you will need to repeat the setup |
If you wish to monitor transactions in the default domain, please follow the instructions in Monitoring Transactions in the Default Domain |
Right after adding the device, the "Setup" tab will be displayed, the tab is divided into six parts.
wing sections 'inside'?
Setup Syslog for All Domains -
This section will apply the same setup too all domains in the device, to select a different configuration for each domain, see the section "Domain Level Configuration" later on this page. |
Select the desired Analysis Level, select the Syslog agent according to the architecture design and click "Setup Syslog", the operation may take a few minutes
Domains WS-M Setup (Optional)
This section will apply the same setup too all domains in the device, to select a different configuration for each domain, see the section "Domain Level Configuration" later on this page. |
If you wish to record and view payloads, or to record API-C policy variables, select the desired WS-M Agent according to the architecture design and click "Setup WS-M”, the operation may take a few minutes.
For supported WS-M payload capture services see IDG WS-M payload capture support.
Click on "Record Payload" to open the payload capture page where you can start capturing payloads
Extended Transaction Setup (Optional, Deprecated)
This feature is deprecated and was replaced by a non-intrusive method. |
Please do not use the button unless advised by L2/L3 support.
if your architectural design dictates a different configuration for domains on the same machine, you can configure them separately:
Domains may be redirected to different Syslog agents according to the architecture design. Additionally, you may choose to enable WS-M on specific domains only etc. If this is required, follow the steps below to configure specific domains. Otherwise you may skip this section |
Under "Syslog Setup", select the desired Analysis Level, select the desired Syslog Agent according to the architecture design, click "Setup Syslog" and wait until the action completes successfully.
Select the desired WS-M Agent according to the architecture design. Click "Setup WS-M” and wait until the action completes successfully.
For supported WS-M payload capture services see IDG WS-M payload capture support.
Click on "Record Payload" to open the payload capture page where you can start capturing payloads
Please do not use the button unless advised by L2/L3 support, this feature was deprecated and was replaced by a non-intrusive method.
Under "Services Extended Transaction Setup", click "Setup Extended Transaction for all services” and wait until the action completes successfully.
This step will MODIFY SERVICES PROCESSING POLICY. You must test and verify that the services are not affected by this change before setting this up on production environments. |
