Application Monitor Agent

Application Monitor uses the Application Monitor agent to monitor ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition nodes and applications deployed in an environment. Application Monitor agent is the back-end server process that provides a monitoring functionality for an ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition application and cluster. The agent communicates with the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server for UI interactions and communicates with the ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition application containers by using JMX.

Agent Metadata

Every agent has its own metadata. This metadata includes agent type and agent version. In ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition, the agent type is AMXCE and version is 1.0.0.

Note: If there is any change regarding the metadata of an agent, then you must unregister the agent and register again.

Agent Properties

Agent properties are used when auto-registering an agent. You can configure these properties in the Kubernetes deployment configuration file. Sample file is provided at amsgce-runtime-<version>\samples\kubernetes\Application_Monitor. For more information, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Service Grid - Container Edition Cloud Deployment.

Agent Configuration Details

The configuration details such as (Name, Type, Version and so on) are set for every agent before registering on the TEA server. The configuration details are displayed on the console when registering an agent. You can view this information in the agent logs as well.

User Permissions

Every TEA agent has some permissions assigned to it. By default, the Application Monitor agent has read-write permissions. On the TEA, Administrator can assign users to different groups and roles. Each user role has some permissions enabled for it. The user with the assigned role can perform all the operations that are enabled for that role. For more information, see TIBCO Enterprise Administrator documentation.
