Field	Description

Field

Description

Manager URL

The URL used by DPOD to interact with the Cloud Agent Manager.

The value can be retrieved from the Cloud Agent CR ⁽¹⁾:

kubectl get DpodCloudAgent <CR name> -n <CR namespace> -o jsonpath='{.status.endpoints[?(@.name=="managerApi")].url}{"\n"}'

Credentials

Base64 encoded authentication string generated by the Cloud Agent’s Operator.

The value can be retrieved from the Cloud Agent CR ⁽¹⁾:

kubectl get secret <CR name>-com-enc -n <CR namespace> -o=jsonpath='{.data.encryption\.key}{"\n"}'

Disabled Samplings

Representing the sampling types that are disabled on all monitored gateways by the cloud agent.
By default all sampling types are enabled, any change should be made with caution, only when requested by the support team.
It is highly recommended not to disable device resources monitoring. Disabling it will cause this device's health to be missing in System Health dashboard, as well as provide unexpected results in dashboards, reports and alerts that are based on this data (Only available in editing mode).

⁽¹⁾ Run the commands from CLI of a server that supports kubectl command and is connected to the K8s environment.
Replace the <CR name> and <CR namespace> placeholders before running the command.

Once you click the Add button, DPOD will make sure it can connect to the Cloud Agent Manager and if successful, the monitored gateways by the cloud agent will be added to DPOD as monitored gateways.
Each monitored gateway is configured automatically to send information to DPOD after being added to DPOD.
