IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances is a family of pre-built, pre-configured rack mountable network devices (XML appliances) that can help accelerate XML and Web Services deployments while extending SOA infrastructure.

This pattern supports network devices running on IBM DataPower OS.

The pattern triggers on a NetworkDevice where os_type matches IBM DataPower. It then attempts to obtain a list of domains configured on the device.
For each domain the pattern attempts to obtain a list of services and model each of them as a Detail node.

REST API discovery method will obtain "domain" name additional attribute for the Service Detail node. This attribute won't be modeled using SNMP discovery access only. 

• SNMP (for all Discovery versions)
• REST API (Discovery 11.2+ versions)

For an extended discovery of the product REST API method can be used together with SNMP. For Discovery versions prior to 11.2 only SNMP method can be used.

Credentials

For the REST API extended discovery both SNPM and RESTful Web API with basic authentication credentials of the target endpoint should be enabled on Discovery appliance.

REST API queries

Pattern will try to run the following queries to get a list of domains and a list of services for the certain domain:

• GET /mgmt/domains/config/
• GET /mgmt/status/<domain_name>/ServicesStatus

This pattern has been tested against a live installation of IBM DataPower appliance.
