Adding a Cloud Agent to DPOD
Inside DPOD's Web Console, navigate to the cloud agents page [Manage → Topology → Cloud Agents] and click on “New”.
Enter the following information:
Field | Description | Command example for initializing the values* |
|---|---|---|
Manager URL | The URL used by DPOD to interact with the Cloud Agent. | kubectl get DpodCloudAgent <CR name> -n <CR namespace> -o jsonpath='{.status.endpoints[?(@.name=="managerApi")].url}'
|
Credentials | Base64 encoded authentication string generated by the Cloud Agent’s Operator. | kubectl get secret <CR name>-com-enc -n <CR namespace> -o=jsonpath='{.data.encryption\.key}'
|
*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> before running the command.
Once you click the Add button, DPOD will make sure it can connect to the monitored cloud agent 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 added to DPOD.
