Configuration Objects
A TIBCO Hawk Agent manages and monitors applications and systems based on configuration objects such as rulebases, schedules, and a rulebase map loaded on the Agent.
A rulebase map directs TIBCO Hawk agents or groups of agents on your network to load particular rulebases at startup. For example, using a rulebase map you can instruct an agent to load a rulebase designed specifically for the operating system where it runs.
Every rulebase contains rules which are made up of data sources, tests, and actions. Each rule contains management logic. The management logic in a rule is defined by the tests and actions to be taken from data collected from a given data source. If a schedule is specified in a rulebase, rule, test or action, it will determine if these objects should be active or not at a specified time.
Details of rulebases, schedules, and rulebase maps are described below.
