The TIBCO Hawk agent uses processes known as Hawk microagents to collect information and operate using that information. These microagents execute specific tasks known as methods. Methods collect information and perform tasks. Methods can be called directly or from within a TIBCO Hawk rulebase.
This manual describes how various Hawk microagents and respective methods can be used for system and application monitoring. It also provides a complete list of all the available methods for the respective microagents. You can use this guide as a reference to know all the available methods for any microagent.
Methods can return information by invocation or subscription. Invocation returns information on a one-time basis. Subscription information is returned either synchronously, on a regular time schedule, or asynchronously, when data becomes available.
Help text for TIBCO Hawk microagent methods is also available in the microagent window in the TIBCO Hawk Display or Microagent Info in Hawk WebConsole. Selecting a microagent and method in this window will bring up help text in the window.
