Running TIBCO Hawk Agent in an Enterprise Environment for Hybrid Deployment

After the successful installation and deployment of TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail components on Kubernetes/Docker, perform the following steps:

Note: If the Hawk RedTail Console is not deployed or is inaccessible at the time of installing the Hawk agent, then you must edit the Hawk agent configuration from hawkagent.cfg file once the Hawk RedTail Console is deployed. For more information about configuring hawkagent.cfg, see Enterprise Hawk Agent Configurations.
Before you begin 
• Ensure that the core TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail components have been deployed and Hawk RedTail Console is accessible.
• Ensure that a domain for the Hawk agent is created in TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail and the hawk_domain parameter is specified in the hawkagent.cfg file.
• Ensure that the gRPC Transport for TIBCO Hawk parameters are configured in the hawkagent.cfg file.
