The right side of the diagram shows TIBCO Hawk agents installed on machines
to monitor local resources and conditions. Default microagents are used to
monitor objects such as operating system performance, processes, log files,
application metrics or the status of TIBCO Rendezvous sessions.
The left side of the diagram shows how user applications can be instrumented
and monitored using TIBCO Hawk agents. In both scenarios, the TIBCO Hawk
Application Management Interface (AMI) protocol acts as a gateway between
the application’s management capabilities and the local TIBCO Hawk agents.
An application can be directly instrumented with the AMI protocol to expose its
management operations and data. If an application already employs a
management interface other than AMI, an AMI adapter can be built to allow the
agent to discover and exercise it.
Rules consist of data sources, tests, and actions. Data sources are
microagent methods that periodically collect or asynchronously
return information to an agent. One or more tests are applied to the
resulting data set. When a particular test evaluates to true, one or
more actions can be triggered.
