Chapter 1 Introduction to TIBCO iProcess Products : TIBCO Hawk

TIBCO Hawk
Description
TIBCO Hawk is a monitoring system that monitors systems and applications on a specific computer. It consists of the following components:
TIBCO Hawk Agent. A TIBCO Hawk agent is an autonomous process that resides on each computer and monitors systems and applications on that computer. Agents run independently of the TIBCO Hawk Display. Agents operate autonomously and are active whenever the operating system they monitor is active. Agents use sets of rules, called rulebases, to configure system management, status, and automation tasks. A TIBCO Hawk agent must be installed on each computer you wish to monitor.
TIBCO Hawk Microagent. A TIBCO Hawk Microagent (HMA) is a partner process to the TIBCO Hawk agent and provides the local agent with methods for monitoring the host operating system. Like the agent, a TIBCO Hawk Microagent is generally installed on each computer you wish to monitor.
TIBCO Hawk Display Program. The TIBCO Hawk Display program is used by system administrators to view network health and to create rulebases (sets of rules that automate monitoring activities). A TIBCO Hawk Display should be installed on any computers you wish to use for monitoring the network or for building rulebases.
TIBCO Hawk Event Service. The TIBCO Hawk Event Service is a process that records TIBCO Hawk alerts and changes in agent status. When communication with an agent is lost, the Event Service can invoke a user-provided script. Alerts and notifications can be recorded to log files or a database. Typically, the TIBCO Hawk Event Service is installed on a minimal number of computers in the network.
TIBCO Hawk is delivered with the TIBCO iProcess Engine to enable you to use it to monitor the TIBCO iProcess Engine server processes. For example, you can use TIBCO Hawk to check what iProcess Engine server processes are running or stop and start them.
