Chapter 4 Monitoring Console : Overview

Overview
The Monitoring Console provides functionality to import and configure applications to monitor other TIBCO applications in your TIBCO Administrator domain.
The console uses a Monitoring Archive (MAR) file to create a monitoring application. A MAR file is a collection of one or more monitoring configurations. A monitoring configuration is a TIBCO Hawk rulebase template. The MAR file is created using the command-line Monitoring Archive utility (MAR utility). For details, see Using the Monitoring Archive Utility.
You add a MAR file to your domain using the Monitoring Console to create a monitoring application that can be deployed to any target in your domain. Within the context of this console, a target is either a machine or a deployed application (such as TIBCO BusinessWorks or TIBCO Adapters), or a Hawk Repository within your domain.
Installation Considerations
If you delete the Application Domain for the console using the Resource Management> Application Domains dialog, you would need to re-start TIBCO Administrator.
If you update the console by first removing it and then adding it, log out of TIBCO Administrator and log back in before using the plug-in.
If using a TIBCO Administrator domain with a database backend, make sure you set the value for Maximum Connections in the Database Configuration tab of the DomainUtility to be at least 10. Refer to the TIBCO Runtime Agent DomainUtility User’s Guide for details.
Security Considerations
Security access determines whether a user can perform an operation on a managed object in your domain.
Users with read-only access will not be able to Add, Deploy (and Undeploy), or Update monitoring configurations.
Users with read-write access to the Monitoring Management folder get access to all contained consoles.
Only users with read-write access can use the ConfigureMonitoring command-line utility.
If your TIBCO Administrator domain or if the Application domain used for the Monitoring Management Console uses a file based repository, then read-write permissions have to be assigned to the Data Access folder.
The Data Access folder is accessed by selecting (using TIBCO Administrator)
User Management> Security> TIBCO Administrator> Permissions
Within this folder, assign read-write access to the Sys--<domainName> repository file.
