Activating the Product

Please perform the following tasks to activate the product:

1. Log in to the Web Console (default username: admin, default password: adminuser).

2. Read and accept the EULA (End User License Agreement).

3. Once logged in, check system status (if you didn't setup any monitored devices yet - the Device and Service Resources indicators may be Red).
4. To start monitoring and viewing transnational data follow Adding Monitored Devices.

Security and Roles

1. Complete LDAP configuration steps.
   The built-in local repository of users, groups and roles is only for POCs and demo usage. To better comply with more strict security requirements it is advised to leave the Local User Registry Management disabled in System Parameters (it is disabled by default). When disabled, DPOD will not allow to add or edit any users, roles or groups, and will display a relevant error message.
2. Create Custom Roles for users or groups to restrict the permissions each user has in the system.
   For example, allow the development team of a certain group of APIs to see transactions of their own APIs, while preventing access to other teams' APIs.
3. Secure the installation by replacing self signed certificate of the web console and limiting admin dashboard to specific IP addresses.

Notifications

1. In order to send reports, alerts, internal alerts or maintenance events via Email, setup the SMTP host, password, port and user name in the system parameters page.
2. In order to configure notifications, follow Configuring Notifications by Email/WS/Syslog/Local File.
3. In order to publish alerts via Syslog, configure the alerts syslog server hostname and port in the system parameters page.

5. In order to publish DPOD maintenance events (backup, sync, firmware upgrade) via Syslog, configure the maintenance syslog server hostname and port in the system parameters page.

6. In order to receive Syslog notification for the backup, sync or firmware upgrade features, change "Maintenance Syslog Notifications Destination Hostname"  in the system parameters page.
