AMI Basics

This section presents a brief overview of the TIBCO Hawk Application Management Interface (AMI).

AMI API is an API used to instrument an application in order to make it manageable by the Hawk System. It is shipped in Java/C/C++ language bindings.

The instrumented application usually connects to the Hawk Agent on the same machine. However, this is not a requirement. You can connect it to a Hawk agent on another machine.

However, it is required that one instrumented application instance only connects to one Hawk Agent.
