Enabling TIBCO Hawk

Before using the TIBCO Hawk with ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks, you must enable the TIBCO Hawk microagent in the process engine. To do this, set the Hawk.Enabled property to true. This can only be set for deployed process engines. Process engines in the test environment are not normally monitored and administered, therefore TIBCO Hawk is not recommended for use in the testing environment.

If you are using non-default transport parameters for TIBCO Hawk, you must also set the Hawk.Service, Hawk.Network, and Hawk.Daemon properties to the values for the transport you are using.

Some microagent methods require memory and processor overhead for gathering statistics or for getting information on the current state of the process. Because of the performance implications, certain instrumentation is disabled by default. You can enable instrumentation for a specific process definition with the Instrumentation.<processName> property. To enable instrumentation for all processes, use the Instrumentation.* property. Enabling instrumentation can lead to significant performance degradation. You should only enable instrumentation for brief periods while testing performance.
