A set of default microagents is loaded when a TIBCO Hawk Agent is started. When you install and start the adapter, its microagents are dynamically added to the local agent.
To invoke a microagent method:
If TIBCO Hawk security is implemented on your system and you do not have access to microagents on this agent, an error dialog displays. Select another agent, or contact your system administrator to obtain access.
The Microagents, Methods and Arguments dialog displays. The panel on the upper left lists microagents you can access on the current agent.
This dialog has two modes, Invoke
and Subscribe
. Invoking a method immediately returns a single set of current results. Subscribing provides updates of current results at regular intervals. Radio buttons at the bottom of the dialog control these modes.
If the method accepts arguments, fields for each argument display in the upper right panel. Detailed help text displays in the lower panel.
These steps describe how to interactively invoke a microagent method and receive a single set of results in TIBCO Hawk Display. You can also use a microagent method as the data source of a TIBCO Hawk rule. Rules automatically receive method results, apply tests to evaluate them, then take action if necessary. For more information on building TIBCO Hawk rules and rule bases, see your TIBCO Hawk Administrator’s Guide.
