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.

Next steps

While SAM and DPA can integrate without extra configuration, you can take steps to relate DPA database instances to SAM applications more easily. See Prepare SAM applications for DPAIM integration for more information.
