Chapter 8 Working with Rulebase-Maps : Creating User-defined Agent Groups

Creating User-defined Agent Groups
Agent groups are sets of TIBCO Hawk agents on the same network with similar rulebase needs. Groups are more efficient when mapping rulebases to agents in a rulebase-map. Instead of assigning a rulebase to every individual agent that needs it, you can assign it once to the group.
Every rulebase-map can have two types of groups: user-defined and automatic. Automatic groups, defined for you in TIBCO Hawk, consist of operating system groups. The set of operating system groups includes one group for each operating system.
You can also define groups in TIBCO WebConsole. User-defined groups are optional, and can include any combination of individual agents and other agent groups. For example, a user-defined group might include one or more automatic groups.
All group names begin with a plus (+) character. Operating system groups are named ++<OS>, where OS is the name of the operating system.
To create a user-defined agent group:
1.
Click the repository listed in the Repository portlet on the Hawk Dashboard tab.
2.
A new repository tab opens. The name of the repository tab is same as the selected repository name <repository_name>. The following tabs are available on the top right corner of the screen:
a.
b.
c.
3.
Click the Rulebase-Map tab. The Rulebase-Map screen is displayed.
4.
Select Group to Agent/Groups option from the Mappings tree and click Create new group icon from the toolbar. The Create New Group dialog is displayed.
