(Optional) Defining a TIBCO Hawk Session

To use TIBCO Hawk to monitor the adapter, you must first define aTIBCO Rendezvous session in TIBCO Designer. A preconfigured default TIBCO Hawk session is available. The default session is created when you add an adapter instance in TIBCO Designer. You can modify the settings of the preconfigured session provided or define a new one.

To define a TIBCO Hawk session:

Procedure

Select the adapter instance in the Project panel. Select Advanced > Sessions folder of the instance.

If you want to configure the default TIBCO Hawk session:

Select the R3HawkDefault session.

Configure the session in the Configuration panel.

Make sure you have set the correct parameter value for the global variables that correspond to the TIBCO Hawk configuration. If the session parameters are not set properly, the microagents will not be displayed in TIBCO Hawk monitoring console.

The following figure shows the Configuration tab for a TIBCO Hawk session:

If you want to define a new TIBCO Hawk session:

Drag the GenericSession icon from the Palettes panel to the Design panel.

In the Configuration panel, select the RV item from the Session Type list. Click Apply.

Configure the session on the Configuration tab, which is similar to the Configuration tab shown in the earlier figure:

In the Name field, enter the name previously assigned in the Default MicroAgent Session field under the Monitoring tab. See Monitoring Tab for details.

In the Service field, enter 7474 (the default used by TIBCO Hawk).

In the Daemon field, enter tcp:7474 (the default used by TIBCO Hawk).

Click Apply and save the project.

See Appendix C, "Predefined Global Variables", in TIBCO Designer User’s Guide for more information about the global variables for TIBCO Hawk.
