askit.jar	<TIBCO_HOME>/hawk/<version>/lib
console.jar	<TIBCO_HOME>/hawk/<version>/lib

TIBCrypt.jar	<TIBCO_HOME>/tra/<version>/lib

You can upload the required libs at Administration / System control / Deployment.

After restarting nJAMS Server you can configure nJAMS Hawk Console feature accordingly:

Purpose:

The nJAMS Hawk Console Plugin subscribes to TIBCO Hawk events from 1-n Hawk Domains and can be used to monitor such events.

Prerequisites:

The TIBCO Hawk Console Plugin requires that TIBCO Hawk is setup using JMS/EMS as the transport layer. TIBCO RV is NOT supported. An nJAMS Agent must be configured to receive events from the plugin by enabling input plugin njams_subagent.

Usage:

The nJAMS Hawk Console Plugin collects TIBCO Hawk Events, such as a alerts (and their clearance) and Hawk Agent start or stop events. Any recorded event is not directly added to nJAMS Server, but forward to an nJAMS Agent instance, which in turn sends it to the server.

TIBCO AppNode events can be collected, when “appnode.collection.enabled” is set to true.

Note

It is not recommended to use this feature (it is deprecated). Use the nJAMS Agent BWAGENT Input Plugin instead!

TIBCO EMS metrics can be collected, when “ems.collection.enabled” is set true.

Note

It is not recommended to use this feature (it is deprecated). Use the nJAMS Agent EMS Input Plugin instead!

The data produced by this plugin can be used inside the Argos feature of nJAMS Server to build dashboard and create rules.
