Chapter 3 TIBCO Hawk Admin Agent User Interface : Microagents Page

Microagents Page
Each agent has a set of default microagents, that are discovered by agents when it is started. If you install and start an adapter or gateway, or instrument an application with AMI, microagents for these objects are dynamically added to the agent. When you click the Microagents icon, you can view microagents and their methods for any discovered TIBCO Hawk agents. For more details on microagents, see TIBCO Hawk Concepts Guide.
Figure 7 Microagents
 
You can click any microagent to get the following details:
Description: Displays the name and possibly some text describing the selected microagent. All the methods available for the selected microagent are displayed in a table in the panel beneath the description.
The following details for each method are displayed in a table:
Method Name: Displays the name of the method.
Method Description: Describes what the method does.
Type: Subscription information is returned either synchronously, on a regular time schedule, or asynchronously, when data becomes available.
Return Type: Data is returned as Tabular Data, or Composite data.
Invoke: Use the Invoke mode to immediately view the results. Invoking is useful when you want to test a method before using it in a rule, or to check a return value for troubleshooting purposes. This example demonstrates the Invoke mode of operation.
Subscribe: Use the Subscribe mode to view the microagent method results over time. Creating a subscription is useful when you want to test a range of return values before specifying boundaries in a rule, or to identify general patterns of activity.
Exporting the Description for a Microagent
You can either view or download the microagent description to a file. Click the Export MAD link in the Description panel and select whether you want to open it or save the file locally.
