Issue/Introduction:



  How do I configure the DataPower Agent Extension to support more than one DataPower Appliance?

Environment:

APM 10.x

Resolution:

  A Datapower agent can support two or more Datapower Appliances with one agent.      To do this, modify DatapowerMonitor-config.xml as shown below. For each DataPower Appliance, give a separate metric path as shown below. Assume we have 3 Datapower Appliances as HelloDP, HelloDP2, and HelloDP3.  Change the metric paths for them as DataPower1, DataPower2, Datapower3, and so on, as in the following example. 

 Step1:

Configure the devices as below (Replace the example data with your data.)

<properties>

            <property name="host">10.160.160.33</property>

            <property name="host2">10.160.160.31</property>

            <property name="host3">10.160.160.30</property>

            <property name="port">5550</property>

            <property name="path">service/mgmt/2004</property>

            <property name="usr">admin</property>

            <property name="pwd">[encT]RGm0U2soMTaYP6kEpZYtoQ==</property>

            <property name="pwd1">[encT]RGm0U2soMTaYP6kEpZYtoQ==</property>

            <property name="pwd2">[encT]RGm0U2soMTaYP6kEpZYtoQ==</property>

     </properties>    

    <devices>

            <device name="HelloDP">

                <url>https://${host}:${port}/${path}</url>

                <user>${usr}</user>

                <password>${pwd}</password>

            </device>

            <device name="HelloDP1">

                <url>https://${host1}:${port}/${path}</url>

                <user>${usr}</user>

                <password>${pwd1}</password>

            </device>

             <device name="HelloDP2">

                <url>https://${host2}:${port}/${path}</url>

                <user>${usr}</user>

                <password>${pwd2}</password>

            </device>

     </devices> 

Step 2: Configure engine metric path as below.

  <engine>  

        <device ref="HelloDP"/>  

         <domain ref="default"/>

       <metric-set ref="Basic">DataPower1|DeviceMetrics|</metric-set>

       <metric-set ref="Static">DataPower1|DeviceMetrics|</metric-set>

       <metric-set ref="WebServices" />

       <interval unit="second">15</interval>

   </engine> 

   <engine enabled="true" name="E2" retainValues="false">

       <device ref="HelloDP2"/>

       <domain ref="default"/>

       <metric-set ref="Composite0"> DataPower2|DeviceMetrics|</metric-set>

       <interval unit="second">15</interval>

   </engine>  

   <engine enabled="true" name="E3" retainValues="false">

       <device ref="HelloDP3"/>

       <domain ref="default"/>

       <metric-set ref="Composite1"> DataPower3|DeviceMetrics|Domain-Specific|default|</metric-set>

       <interval unit="second">15</interval>

   </engine>
