Use Alternate Methods
You might already have developed scripts or executable programs that monitor critical functions. You can incorporate these programs into your TIBCO Hawk environment using the execute
, executeForNumber()
and executeForString()
methods of the Custom
microagent.
Examine your current monitoring solution to identify tasks that can be fully automated using TIBCO Hawk software. Some monitoring tasks performed by scripts may be easier to perform using TIBCO Hawk agents and rulebases. For example, if you use a script that checks for process existence on a UNIX system, the script probably executes the ps
command every so often. Using the Process
microagent is a more efficient way to do this because it does not have to start a new process each time the process table is checked.
