Hawk Container Edition Features
Hawk Container Edition uses TCP Transport for Hawk for communication and inherits many of its benefits. These benefits include a flexible architecture, enterprise-wide scalability, and location transparent product components that are simple to configure.
Hawk Container Edition is based on open architecture and is flexible and lightweight.
Flexibility
Hawk Container Edition is designed to make your container monitoring strategy seamless.
The Hawk Container Edition containers are configured to maintain all configurations and dependencies internally. The configuration for the component is provided through environment variables instead of configuration files.
Openness and Extensibility
One of the greatest benefits of Hawk Container Edition is portability. You can run Hawk Container Edition in most of the Docker-based Platform as a Service (PaaS) environments.
Hawk Container Edition also provides public APIs which allow you to develop custom activities (rulebases, AMIs, security, and so on) as per your requirements, see Hawk Container Edition Programming.
You can add additional monitoring capabilities to Hawk Container Edition by adding custom plug-ins to it, see Adding Custom Hawk Plug-Ins to the Hawk Agent.
In Hawk Container Edition, you can use REST APIs to build a custom Hawk Console. The feature to create your own custom console enables you to implement only the console features that are suitable for your business.
