The ActiveSpaces Hawk MicroAgent

The TIBCO ActiveSpaces Hawk Microagent is an ActiveSpaces managed application instrumented with the TIBCO Hawk® Application Management Interface (AMI) protocol and which exposes a set of methods that allow the connected Metaspace to be monitored and controlled by TIBCO Hawk tools.

The ActiveSpaces Hawk Microagent communicates with the TIBCO Hawk Agent by using TIBCO Rendezvous as the transport for exchanges of monitored and management data to interact with the Metaspace.

With the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Hawk Microagent, you can perform interactive monitoring through the Hawk display or automate the execution of the methods by creating rulebases to raise alerts and actions performed by the TIBCO Hawk Agents. Refer to the Hawk documentation on the concept of a Hawk Microagent.

You can use the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Hawk Microagent to capture:

  • The size, throughput, and growth of a Space monitored by a Hawk rulebase.
  • The event on definition or the drop of a Space.
  • The joining and leaving of members to the Metaspace as well as member to a Space so alerts and corrective actions can be taken.

    Combining the Hawk rules with other TIBCO AMI instrumented applications allows you to build a monitoring and management system for all Spaces and Members of a Metaspace cluster.
