Overview

A rulebase is a collection of one or more rules. A rule is a user-defined monitoring policy. It specifies:

−	A data source in the form of a microagent method

−	One or more tests that check for conditions

−	One or more actions to perform if a test result is true.

To know more about Rule, Test, and Actions, see TIBCO Hawk Concepts Guide.

Sample Rulebase

Sample rulebases are bundled with TIBCO Hawk installation. They are installed in <HAWK_HOME>\5.2\examples\rulebases directory.

The HawkAgent-UNIX.hrb rulebase has a rule that monitors the Hawk.log file. If TIBCO Hawk is installed in a directory other than the default, this rule will fail and send out high alerts for noDataSourceErrors. If TIBCO Hawk is installed in a directory other than the default, you must edit the rule to use the actual directory path of the Hawk.log file.

Any tag missing in the rulebase XML will lead to error in use of the artifact. All the tags are mandatory in .hrb file.
