Chapter 8 The TIBCO Hawk Event Service : Using the Event Service for Integration

Using the Event Service for Integration
In addition to storing a record of events, the TIBCO Hawk Event Service is a useful tool for exchanging information between TIBCO Hawk agents and other monitoring products. If an external application can read and parse log files, you can notify it of TIBCO Hawk events. Configure the application to read the Event Service data files and parse log entries, using pattern matching techniques to locate headings for particular event types.
This method of exchanging information is easier to manage and generates less network traffic than using SNMP traps or executing scripts on the remote machine. More significantly, if a TIBCO Hawk agent process terminates, the Event Service can notify the external application. Any mechanism that relies on the TIBCO Hawk agent to exchange data with external applications cannot provide this type of notification.
