Various agent types are available depending on the object management (OM) type and on the add-on products used:
• Query Agent: Used with Cache OM only and available only if TIBCO BusinessEvents Event Stream Processing software is used.
• Dashboard: Used with Cache OM only and available only if TIBCO BusinessEvents Views software is used. Also requires JDBC backing store.
• Monitoring and Management (shown as Monitoring & Management): Used internally by the Monitoring and Management component. Do not add any agents of this class. See Chapter 6, Basic MM Configuration for more details.When you choose an object management type in the New Cluster Configuration wizard, one agent class of each type available for that OM type is provided ready for you to configure. The exception is the monitoring and management agent type, which is used internally.In the Agent Classes section (on the left) you see categories of collections. They contain any collections you configured at the Collections tab (see Configuring the Collections Tab (All OM Types)). These can help you quickly configure an agent.Rule Collections It can be convenient to organize rules into collections for use in different agents. Select rule collections and individual rules as needed to define what rules will execute on an agent at runtime. (Query agents don’t have rule collections.)Destination Collections Different agents may use different sets of destinations (as configured for channels in the project). Select destination collections and individual destinations as needed to define an agent’s listeners.Startup and Shutdown Functions Collections Select function collections and individual functions as needed, to define which functions execute at engine startup and shutdown respectively. The order of the functions (including the order of functions in collections) is the order in which they execute at runtime.You can begin by configuring classes provided by the wizard. You can rename the classes as desired. Then add more classes as needed.

3. Select an Agent Class Type from the list. Valid types for your cluster depend on object management type, and whether you use any TIBCO BusinessEvents add-on products.
− Query Agent: Used with Cache OM only and available only if TIBCO BusinessEvents Event Stream Processing is used.
− Dashboard: Used with Cache OM only and available only if TIBCO BusinessEvents Views is used.
1. As needed complete steps in To Add an Agent Class. Select the Agent Class type, Inference, Cache, Dashboard, or Query
2. Select the agent name on the left. Appropriate settings for that agent type appear in the Configuration panel. Complete the settings and add any additional properties, as explained in Agents Tab Settings and Properties.
3. For inference, dashboard, and query agent types, configure the collections you want to use. In the agent tree on the left, click each type of collection in turn and configure as explained next. (In the instructions below, the word item stands in for destination, function, and rule.)
b.
c. In the upper section of the dialog, select individual project item resources, as desired.
d. In the lower section of the dialog (the Reference Groups section), select item collections you defined earlier, as desired.
e.
4. If you added any individual destinations to the Destination Groups category, highlight their name on the left and configure their settings on the right. See Collections Tab — Destinations Settings and Properties for details.
− Click a collection category on the left to see a list of collections and items you selected from that category on the right.
− Expand a category on the left and click a collection reference within it. You see a list of its item IDs and paths, and any collection references within that collection, on the right.
− Edit the project paths for individual items you add here. You would do this If the project location of that item changed.
