Figure 1 TIBCO Hawk System ArchitectureA TIBCO Hawk Agent is an autonomous process that should be installed on each computer to monitor systems and applications on that computer. The Hawk Agents operate autonomously and use sets of rules, called “Rulebases”. These rules help Hawk agents to configure system management, status reporting, and automation tasks. For more information, refer to Chapter 2, About TIBCO Hawk Agents.The term microagent is a generic term used to refer to the Hawk managed set of methods exposed by an application. This is done by instrumenting the application using Hawk AMI API or by using a Hawk plug-in or an adapter. See the following sections for a short description of each of them. The MicroAgent is covered in more detail later on in this book.
Typically, a single active instance of the TIBCO Hawk Event Service runs on the network. You may run additional instances as standby for the primary instance. For more information, refer to Chapter 8, The TIBCO Hawk Event Service.
