Invoke a Microagent Method

You can invoke a microagent method in TIBCO Hawk Console and 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.

Microagent methods perform a wide variety of tasks, and are grouped into categories according to the impact that invoking the method has on a managed system. These categories are used by the TIBCO Hawk agent to display appropriate methods for the current context:

IMPACT_INFO methods collect data.
IMPACT_ACTION methods make some change to the microagent or the resource it represents.
IMPACT_ACTION_INFO methods both collect data and make changes.

Microagent methods can be synchronous or asynchronous.
