Requirements for the DPA Integration Module
DPAIM is installed with the SolarWinds Platform. To install any SolarWinds Platform product, use the SolarWinds Platform Installer. To view information from DPA in the SolarWinds Platform, set up DPAIM.
Server recommendations, port requirements, and browser requirements are listed below. For other requirements, see the SolarWinds Platform requirements.
Server recommendations
SolarWinds recommends that you install DPAIM and other SolarWinds Platform products on a different server than the DPA server.
For more information about DPA server requirements, see the DPA System Requirements.
SolarWinds does not recommend installing an additional polling engine on the DPA server.
Port requirements
In addition to the port requirements necessary for DPA and any other SolarWinds Platform products, integration requires the following ports.
SolarWinds does not recommend the use of HTTP (Port 80). Please use HTTPS (Port 443) to ensure that any web-related connections are secure.
DPA server
| Port | Protocol | Service/Process | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
443 (cloud) or |
TLS |
Windows: Ignite PI Service Linux: Java/Tomcat |
Bidirectional |
This is the default port number of your DPA website and jSWIS proxy. This port must be open to receive data from the SolarWinds Platform server. |
SolarWinds Platform server
| Port | Protocol | Service/Process | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17776 | TCP | SolarWinds Information Service |
Bidirectional |
This port must be open to access the SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) API (notifications). |
| 17777 | TCP |
SolarWinds Information Service SolarWinds Platform Module Engine |
Bidirectional |
This port must be open for all SolarWinds Platform product traffic. |
| 17774 or 17778 | TCP | SolarWinds Information Service |
Bidirectional |
This port must be open to access the SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) API. DPAIM uses this port to receive information from DPA, and must use the same port that DPA uses to send the information. For information about which port to use, see this article. |
In addition to the port requirements necessary for Database Performance Analyzer and any other SolarWinds Platform products, integration requires the following ports:
Browser requirements
- Microsoft Edge
- Mozilla Firefox: latest stable version
- Google Chrome: latest stable version
Next steps
- If necessary, install DPAIM:
- DPAIM is automatically installed with SolarWinds SAM.
- To install DPAIM without SAM, use the DPAIM stand-alone installer.
- When DPAIM is installed, set up the integration.
While SAM and Database Performance Analyzer can integrate without extra configuration, you can take steps to relate Database Performance Analyzer database instances to SAM applications more easily. See Prepare SAM applications for DPAIM integration for more information.
