Overview
The Monitoring Console provides functionality to import and configure applications to monitor other TIBCO applications in your TIBCO Administrator domain.
The console uses a Monitoring Archive (MAR) file to create a monitoring application. A MAR file is a collection of one or more monitoring configurations. A monitoring configuration is a TIBCO Hawk rulebase template. The MAR file is created using the command-line Monitoring Archive utility (MAR utility). For details, see Using the Monitoring Archive Utility.
You add a MAR file to your domain using the Monitoring Console to create a monitoring application that can be deployed to any target in your domain. Within the context of this console, a target is either a machine or a deployed application (such as TIBCO BusinessWorks or TIBCO Adapters), or a Hawk Repository within your domain.
Installation Considerations
If you delete the Application Domain for the console using the Resource Management> Application Domains
dialog, you would need to re-start TIBCO Administrator.
If you update the console by first removing it and then adding it, log out of TIBCO Administrator and log back in before using the plug-in.
Note |
If using a TIBCO Administrator domain with a database backend, make sure you set the value for Maximum Connections in the Database Configuration tab of the DomainUtility to be at least |
Security Considerations
Security access determines whether a user can perform an operation on a managed object in your domain.
Users with read-only access will not be able to Add, Deploy (and Undeploy), or Update monitoring configurations.
Users with read-write access to the Monitoring Management folder get access to all contained consoles.
Only users with read-write access can use the ConfigureMonitoring command-line utility.
If your TIBCO Administrator domain or if the Application domain used for the Monitoring Management Console uses a file based repository, then read-write permissions have to be assigned to the Data Access folder.
The Data Access folder is accessed by selecting (using TIBCO Administrator)
User Management> Security> TIBCO Administrator> Permissions
Within this folder, assign read-write access to the Sys--<domainName>
repository file.
