Configuration Prerequisites

While configuring ActiveMatrix using TIBCO Configuration Tool, one or both of the following microagents get installed in CONFIG_HOME depending on your choice:

  • ActiveMatrix Host Microagent
  • ActiveMatrix Service Microagent

The two microagents are installed with TIBCO ActiveMatrix on every machine where ActiveMatrix nodes and hosts are running. With the following configuration procedure, the microagents can monitor multiple nodes and even multiple hosts on each machine.

Before configuring ActiveMatrix Host microagent and ActiveMatrix Service microagent:

  • On a Windows machine, ensure that Windows PowerShell is installed
  • On a Unix machine, ensure that /bin/bash or a symbolic link from /bash_Install_Dir/bash to /bin/bash is available
  • On a Linux machine, ensure that the lsof package is installed
