Interpreting TIBCO Hawk HMA Log Files

The TIBCO Hawk HMA process creates log files for each microagent, such as Hawk_Process.log. The HMA process also creates a Hawk_HMA.log file for microagent-generic errors.

You control the size and level of detail in HMA log files using the setTraceLevel() and setTraceParameters() methods. These standard methods are included for default platform-specific microagents, and can be added when instrumenting an application using the AMI protocol.

Following are some representative lines in an HMA log file for the Services microagent:

INFO    08/17/2018 13:23:33 PROGRAM: NAME<TIBCO Hawk HMA> VERSION<6.1.0_V9> DATE<August 15 2018>

	OPTIONS: Transport: RV
	RV Session : Service : 7474 -- Network : ; -- Daemon : tcp:7474

INFO    08/17/2018 13:23:33 TIBCO Hawk HMA microagent COM.TIBCO.hawk.hma.Services initialization completed successfully.

The first line identifies the AMI application, and the second identifies command line options in effect. Remaining lines are warnings and errors generated by the AMI application.
