AMI Protocol
The TIBCO Hawk Application Management Interface (AMI) is an open interface for instrumenting an application with a powerful management interface. There are two forms of API available: TIBCO Rendezvous-based protocol and TCP-based protocol. Using AMI, applications can be monitored and controlled internally with TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail in the same way as any other system component. The protocol allows for complete independence between the TIBCO Hawk agent and the managed application with a two-way dynamic discovery.
AMI features are:
• | AMI API libraries, which implement the TIBCO Rendezvous-based protocol, are provided in C, C++ and Java, while TCP-based implementations are provided in Java. Direct AMI using the TIBCO Rendezvous APIs are also supported in ActiveX, and Perl. |
• | AMI can be easily back-fitted into existing applications, even those that do not currently utilize TIBCO Rendezvous software, and expose existing internal application methods to a Hawk agent. |
• | Third-party applications can be managed by writing an AMI wrapper that interfaces with an API or any other mechanism provided by the application for the purpose of managing it. |
