The TIBCO Hawk WebConsole is a console application that displays the status of all agents. It is used to view alerts, interact with agents and their microagents, and edit rulebases and other configuration objects. A microagent is an object used by a TIBCO Hawk agent to carry out certain related tasks: to run scripts, to obtain file system information such as free hard disk space or to retrieve a process table. In the TIBCO Hawk WebCosole, instrumented applications appear in the list of microagents, using the name that the application provides through its AMI interface. See
Chapter 2, Console API for more information on rulebases and microagents. Any methods thus made visible appear as if they are microagent methods, with arguments and results as described.
If you are using a TIBCO Hawk agent as your manager, start the TIBCO Hawk agent with the same service,
network, and
daemon options for its primary monitoring session as for the TIBCO Rendezvous session set up in the application.
You can also configure the agent to use additional TIBCO Rendezvous sessions to monitor AMI activity. See the TIBCO Hawk Installation, Configuration, and Administration Guide for details on configuring agents to use additional AMI sessions.
