Registering a Data Plane
You need to register your Kubernetes namespace as a data plane before you start using the different capabilities provided by TIBCO Control Plane. When you register a Kubernetes namespace as a data plane, TIBCO Control Plane infrastructure components get deployed in your Kubernetes cluster. These infrastructure components are required to create the connection between data plane and TIBCO Control Plane. By using TIBCO Control Plane, you can monitor both your cloud deployments and bare-metal installations from a single dashboard. You can register an bare-metal TIBCO product, which is monitored by TIBCO Hawk as data plane.
Registering a Kubernetes Cluster
To monitor and manage a Kubernetes namespace, you must register a Kubernetes namespace as a data plane. For more information, refer Registering a Kubernetes Cluster.
Registering Control Tower data plane
To register TIBCO products monitored by TIBCO Hawk in TIBCO Control Plane, you must register Control Tower data plane by using the Registering Control Tower Data Plane wizard. Currently, TIBCO Control Plane supports TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 5.x, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6, and TIBCO BusinessEvents monitoring. For more information, refer Registering a Control Tower Data Plane.
