What's New
The What's New topic lists new features of TIBCO® Operational Intelligence Hawk® RedTail - Container Edition version 7.0.0.
New Features
TIBCO® Operational Intelligence Hawk® RedTail - Container Edition can be deployed in standalone mode (Docker) or in a Kubernetes Cluster. Users can access the following advanced features of TIBCO® OI Hawk® RedTail - Container Edition along with the standard features of TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail - Container Edition:
| • | Collect and Store Metrics: The system uses Hawk Console as an exporter to collect metrics from various Hawk microagents and external metric sources, and store them as time series metrics in the time-series database |
| • | Customizable Dashboards: It enables you to visualize the time series metrics as line charts, tables, and gauges using multiple dashboards. You can customize the panels within those dashboards and also configure multiple queries within them. |
| • | Unified Query Language: TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail - Container Edition provides Operational Intelligence Query Language to query the stored time series metrics or Hawk Microagent Method data in the form of Data Models. You can run the queries via a sophisticated Search UI or programmatically using REST API. |
| • | Tag based Rulebases: Allows creating high level Rulebases with Tags that can match microagents, so that the Rulebases can be automatically deployed to all these microagents on all the Hawk Agents in the domain. |
| • | Content Pack: The content packs provide an out of the box product or environment specific view. It is a curated collection of monitoring and visualization resources which include Data models (metrics), Rulebases, and dashboards. For example, the Integration content pack will have out of the box resources to monitor the integration environments such as BusinessWorks applications, Kafka, or Kubernetes. |
| • | Integration with TIBCO LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence: TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail - Container Edition is a collection of microservices monitoring different assets in these clusters. It can collect logs from these clusters and then forward these logs to LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence (LMI). Once these logs are forwarded to LogLogic® LMI, the user can configure LogLogic LMI remotely and perform search operations on these logs through TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail's UI. Moreover, the user can also use the Grafana data source ‘LogLogic’ to display the logs from remote LogLogic LMI into dashboard panels. |
| • | Administration: It enables role based access control in TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail - Container Edition by granting and revoking privileges to content packs. The administrator can define roles, set up users, and give them access to resources so that operations can be conducted in a reliable and secure manner. |
| • | LDAP configuration via UI: You can now configure remote LDAP authentication using the UI or REST API. (This feature is available with all types of licenses.) |
| • | Kubernetes Microagent: If you have deployed TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail - Container Edition on Kubernetes, you can use the Kubernetes microagent methods to get information about the Kubernetes Cluster. (This feature is available with all types of licenses.) |
| • | Hawk Alerts: Starting from this release, MySQL Database is used for storing alerts in TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail - Container Edition. This ensures that the alerts are not lost when the Hawk Console restarts or shuts down abruptly. (This feature is available with all types of licenses.) |
