Monitoring TIBCO BusinessEvents Applications on Microsoft Azure

To monitor TIBCO BusinessEvents applications running on Microsoft Azure based Kubernetes, run TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent container in the same Kubernetes namespace.

Note: For TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent, you can build only Linux containers (and not Windows containers).

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Build the TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent Docker image by using the script provided by TIBCO BusinessEvents.
  2. Push Docker images of TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent and TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server to Azure Container Registry.
  3. Run the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server on Microsoft Azure based Kubernetes.
    For instructions, refer readme.md at TEA_HOME/docker in the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator installation.
  4. Update the following Kubernetes object specification (.yaml) files for TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent:
    • beteagentdeploymemt.yaml - A deployment of TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent Docker image with the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server URL and login details.
    • beteagentinternalservice.yaml - An internal service for connecting to TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent from other nodes
    • k8s-authorization.yaml - A ClusterRoleBinding for binding roles to the user.
    These object specification files are available at BE_HOME\cloud\kubernetes\<cloud_name>\tea. For details about describing a Kubernetes object in a YAML file, see Kubernetes Documentation. For details about the sample YAML files, see Sample YAML Files for TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent.
  5. Create Kubernetes objects required for deploying and running TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent by using the object specification (.yaml) files.
    Syntax:
    kubectl create -f <kubernetes_object.yaml>
    For example, create the Kubernetes objects by using the sample YAML files mentioned in Sample YAML Files for TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent.
    kubectl create -f k8s-authorization.yaml
    
    kubectl create -f beteagentdeploymemt.yaml
    
    kubectl create -f beteagentinternalservice.yaml
    
  6. (Optional) If required, you can check logs of TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Administrator Agent pod.
    Syntax:
    kubectl logs <pod>
    For example, use the kubectl get command to get the list of pods and then use the kubectl logs command to view logs of beteagentdeploymemt.
    kubectl get pods
    
    kubectl logs beteagentdeploymemt-86d75d5fbc-z9gqt
