Chapter 1 Distributed Application Monitoring : How it Works

How it Works
TIBCO Hawk agents perform the work required to monitor applications and systems. An agent can have a rulebase, rulebase map, or schedules object.
An agent runs on each node on the network and monitors local conditions. Each agent uses collections of locally loaded rules organized into rulebases to apply monitoring logic. A rulebase tells an agent how to monitor particular application or system resources and what actions to take when specific conditions are detected. TIBCO Hawk includes prebuilt rulebases that monitor basic system level parameters, and administrators can build additional rulebases using editors in TIBCO Hawk Console. Rulebases can be selectively loaded to an agent or group of agents on a temporary or permanent basis.
The TIBCO Hawk Console application shows alert messages generated by rulebases and presents them in an organized view. Alerts are color-coded to indicate the severity of a reported problem. Clicking on a alert message displays the error message along with a recent history of problems on the node. TIBCO Hawk Console does not store centralized monitoring intelligence; it simply offers a view of events on your distributed systems.
