TIBCO® Enterprise Administrator 2.4.2

# Postinstallation Steps for TIBCO Hawk Agent

The TIBCO Hawk agent is an optional component that you can install with TIBCO Enterprise Administrator.

A Hawk agent is an autonomous process that resides on each computer that monitors TIBCO applications on the computer.

The TIBCO Hawk agent operates autonomously and is active whenever the operating system it monitors is active. The Hawk agent uses a set of rules, called rulebases, to configure system management, status, and automation tasks. The Hawk agent monitors conditions on its local machine and send alerts over the network only when problems are detected.

TIBCO Hawk Agent can use one of the following products as the mode of transport:

1. TIBCO DataGrid (distributed as a part of Hawk installation)
2. TIBCO Rendezvous
3. TIBCO Enterprise Message Service

You must install one of the transport modes listed independent of the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator installation. You might have to follow some postinstallation steps depending upon the following:

1. You installed TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise Message Service before installing TIBCO Hawk : In this case, follow the steps outlined in in the Configuring TIBCO Hawk Components chapter of the TIBCO Hawk Documentation.
2. The TIBCO_HOME selected for the transport mode(TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise Message Service) is different from that of the HawkTIBCO_HOME: In this case, follow the steps outlined in the section Different TIBCO_HOME Locations for Various TIBCO Products of the TIBCO Hawk Documentation.
3. If you want to use TIBCO DataGrid as the transport for the Hawk Agent bundled with TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, the AS_HOME must point to the standalone installation of TIBCO ActiveSpaces that is supported by TIBCO Hawk.
