IBM DataPower Operations Dashboard (DPOD) is a powerful tool providing central self-service, profiling and troubleshooting capabilities across all your IBM DataPower Gateways. Using DPOD, you can investigate services and transactions processed by your DataPower cluster in near real time, down to the level of a single message.
DPOD also allows you to gather and report on statistics, view device health, track down security violations and much more. 
As a complete solution, DPOD gives a user the ability to fully, easily and proactively troubleshoot their DataPower Gateways network.

DPOD offers the following capabilities

A Unified Console for all IBM DataPower Gateways in your network. 

This console provides a complete and comprehensive perspective of your entire setup with Drill Down, fully queryable views for gateways, domains, services, all the way down to a single transaction's details. The console can be used by everyone involved in ensuring the health of services: System Administrators, Operators, Developers, Service Consumers, Service Providers and Security Officers.

Configurable security roles allow an administrator to create access restrictions for screens and data types. This enables the alignment of available information to the user's role in the business, and improve Service Level Agreements by offering self-service tools for common problems resolution.

A full payload data backlog for transactions

When enabled, this feature provides full transaction and message information across the IBM DataPower Gateways configured. This data can be used for troubleshooting during the development cycle or in production.

Near-immediate querying data

DPOD uses a fast, scalable, Big Data store, which enables near-immediate querying of all the data gathered from your DataPower Gateways.

Security insight views

DPOD provides full information logged for different types of events that may present real or potential security risks to your system. Events such as login failures, SSL handshakes, potential content attacks, policy violations and more are presented through DPOD's Security Dashboards.

Logical Transaction Grouping (Intrusive Feature)

DPOD has the capability to group logical transactions into a single view called Deprecated Extended Transactions. An administrator may configure a message traveling from one IBM DataPower Gateway to another to present as a single transaction in DPOD's console.

This feature will be deprecated in the near future and will be replaced with a non intrusive mechanism introduced in v1.0.8.0 .

Full performance data

DPOD aggregates and displays full performance data on both front-end and back-end processing of services, providing immediate insights into the origin of errors or service latency.

Statistics and Analytics

DPOD calculates and displays statistics relating to your system, thus providing the user with insights into the working of Gateways, domains, services, and transactions. The data can be analysed in terms of activity, latency, error percentages, memory usage and much more. Usage of these analytics data allows for proactive fine-tuning of your DataPower configuration, code, and service distribution.

System Overview 

Using a series of dashboards, the user can access performance and other information pertaining the aggregated state of DataPower Gateways. The dashboards allow Drilling Down from a bird's eye view of total transaction activity, service latency or resource consumption into a single device or transaction's details.
