Before You Begin

You will need to:

  1. Check routing and access from a monitored device:
    The DataPower Gatweay needs to route packets to DPOD Agents through the desired interface. Validate through control panel->Troubleshooting->TCP Connection Test]
  2. Log In To DPOD Web Console

Device Level Configuration

Add The Device In DPOD

 

  1. Inside DPOD's UI Console, open Monitored Devices  [Manage->Devices->Monitored Devices] and click on “Add Device”
  2. Enter the information required. (Detailed description can be found in Device Management)
    Note that the device name must be identical to the System Identifier/Appliance Name of the DataPower Gatweay as set in the The IDG.

  3. Click "Setup” and wait for an informative green message at the top todo:what does this do? how is this now 'configured'? are the following sections 'inside'?

Setup Syslog For The New Monitored Device

  1. Under "Syslog Setup for Device", select the proper Syslog Agent (according to the architecture design), click "Setup Syslog for device" and wait till the action completes successfully.
  2. Syslog setup for all domains
  3. Under "Syslog Setup for All Domains", select the proper Syslog Agent (according to the architecture design), click "Setup Syslog for all domains" and wait till the action completes successfully.
  4. todo: change diagram to new-name

Performance

Different domains may be redirected to different Syslog agents according to the architecture design. If this is the case, please set up each domain separately as documented below
