Tibco Hawk Online Test

The Tibco Hawk Test makes use of scenario-based questions to test for on-the-job skills as opposed to theoretical knowledge, ensuring that candidates who do well on this screening test have the relavant skills. The questions are designed to covered following on-the-job aspects:

• Understanding and implementing Hawk Rulebase
• Configuring and managing Hawk Agents
• Generating reports using TCP Report
• Working with EMS Client for messaging integration
• Integrating with HTTP Adapter for web services
• Monitoring and managing TIBCO components
• Setting up alerts and notifications
• Designing and implementing rules and actions
• Analyzing application performance
• Performing event correlation

Once the test is sent to a candidate, the candidate receives a link in email to take the test. For each candidate, you will receive a detailed report with skills breakdown and benchmarks to shortlist the top candidates from your pool.

• Hawk Rulebase

  Hawk Rulebase refers to the set of rules and conditions that define the behavior and actions to be taken by Tibco Hawk in response to specific events or conditions. It is measured in this test to assess the candidate's ability to create and manage rulebases effectively, ensuring accurate monitoring and management of the system.

• Hawk Agents

  Hawk Agents are software components responsible for collecting and reporting system performance and status information to Tibco Hawk. This skill is measured in the test to determine the candidate's familiarity with agent setup, configuration, and troubleshooting, which are essential for efficient monitoring and management.

• TCP Report

  TCP Report in Tibco Hawk is a built-in mechanism for monitoring and reporting network connectivity and performance between Hawk Agents. Measuring this skill helps evaluate the candidate's understanding of TCP/IP protocols and their ability to identify and resolve network issues that may impact the overall system performance.

• EMS Client

  EMS Client refers to the software component that enables communication between Tibco Hawk and Tibco Enterprise Message Service (EMS). Evaluating this skill in the test helps ensure that the candidate is capable of configuring and using EMS Client to effectively monitor and manage message queues and topics in the system.

• HTTP Adapter

  HTTP Adapter is a feature in Tibco Hawk that allows monitoring and management of web services using HTTP protocols. Measuring this skill helps determine the candidate's proficiency in setting up and utilizing the HTTP Adapter, enabling seamless handling of web service monitoring and management tasks.

• Monitoring and Management

  Monitoring and Management in Tibco Hawk involves the continuous monitoring of system components, status, and performance, as well as the ability to take appropriate actions based on predefined rules. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's holistic understanding and competence in monitoring and managing the system effectively.

• Alerts and Notifications

  Alerts and Notifications feature in Tibco Hawk enables proactive identification and communication of system events and conditions that require attention or action. Evaluating this skill helps determine the candidate's ability to configure and utilize alerts and notifications effectively, ensuring timely response and resolution of potential issues.

• Rules and Actions

  Rules and Actions in Tibco Hawk are components that define the behavior and actions to be taken in response to specific conditions or events. Measuring this skill helps assess the candidate's capability to create, configure, and manage rules and actions, ensuring accurate and efficient monitoring and management of the system.

• Application Performance

  Application Performance refers to the measurement and assessment of the system's overall performance and responsiveness in handling user requests and executing tasks efficiently. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's ability to monitor and optimize application performance using Tibco Hawk, ensuring optimal system functionality and user satisfaction.

• Event Correlation

  Event Correlation in Tibco Hawk involves the analysis and identification of relationships and dependencies among various system events and conditions, allowing for better understanding and troubleshooting. Evaluating this skill helps assess the candidate's proficiency in event correlation techniques and their ability to identify and resolve complex system issues effectively.

• Load Monitoring

  Load Monitoring in Tibco Hawk involves the continuous monitoring of system resources, performance, and capacity utilization to ensure optimal system operation and avoid overload. Measuring this skill helps evaluate the candidate's understanding of load monitoring techniques and their ability to identify and address resource bottlenecks or performance issues proactively.

• Event-driven Architecture

  Event-driven Architecture refers to a design approach where system components communicate and interact through the exchange of events, allowing for loose coupling and flexibility. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's comprehension of event-driven architecture principles and their ability to leverage Tibco Hawk for effective monitoring and management within such architectural contexts.
