Governance Agent

A governance agent is a TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance component that runs in an application's Java processes such as the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid node.

Proxy endpoints are deployed on TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid nodes designated as Proxy Nodes that also have an embedded governance agent for enforcing proxy policies.

The Governance Agent has core services to send information on start-up events, receive policy and resource configurations to TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance.

The Governance Agent also comprises the Policy Decision Point (PDP), Policy Runtime Store and Action components for enforcing policies on TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid services and references.

Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) is also installed as part of the Governance Agent. This component is specific to each platform supported by TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance since it is responsible for intercepting or consuming platform-specific events and interacting with PDP.
