## Deploying GermainUX for TIBCO Monitoring: JMX and Spotfire Log Configuration

Deploy the GermainUX components required to collect performance, availability, JMX, and log data from TIBCO environments.

### Deployment Architecture

TIBCO monitoring is performed by a GermainUX Engine.

Depending on the required monitoring coverage, the Engine can collect data from:

* JMX
* TIBCO Spotfire log files
* Supporting infrastructure
* Other configured monitoring sources

Deploy the Engine where it can reach the required TIBCO monitoring interfaces and files.

## Prerequisites

Before deployment, confirm:

* GermainUX is available for the target environment.
* A GermainUX Engine is deployed and operational.
* The Engine can communicate with Germain Enterprise.
* The Engine can reach the target TIBCO server.
* Required firewall access is available.
* Required JMX connectivity is available when using JMX monitoring.

> **Show all 9**
>
> * JMX credentials are available when authentication is enabled.
> * TIBCO Spotfire log files are accessible when using log monitoring.
> * The monitoring account has the required permissions.

## Deploy JMX Monitoring

Use JMX monitoring for TIBCO components that expose the required metrics through JMX.

### 1. Verify JMX Availability

Before configuring GermainUX, verify that JMX is enabled for the target TIBCO application.

Identify:

* Host
* JMX port
* JMX service URL
* Authentication requirements
* Required credentials
* TLS/security requirements

### 2. Verify Connectivity

From the GermainUX Engine environment, verify that the JMX endpoint is reachable.

Confirm:

* DNS resolution
* Network routing
* Firewall access
* JMX port access
* Authentication

### 3. Verify Permissions

When JMX authentication is enabled, use an account with sufficient permissions to read the required JMX metrics.

Grant only the permissions necessary for monitoring.

## Deploy TIBCO Spotfire Log Monitoring

GermainUX supports monitoring of TIBCO Spotfire log files.

The documented configuration includes:

* Spotfire Action Log Parser
* Spotfire Performance Log Parser
* Spotfire Server Log Parser
* Spotfire Log Directory Monitor

### 1. Identify the Spotfire Log Directory

Determine the location of the Spotfire logs that GermainUX will monitor.

Confirm that the GermainUX Engine can access the required directory.

### 2. Verify File Permissions

The monitoring account must be able to read the required Spotfire log files.

Verify access to:

* Action logs
* Performance logs
* Server logs

Grant only the permissions required for monitoring.

### 3. Verify Log Generation

Confirm that Spotfire is generating the expected log files before configuring GermainUX.

This helps distinguish a GermainUX collection issue from a Spotfire logging configuration issue.

## Validate the Deployment

Before configuring production monitoring, confirm:

### JMX

* Engine is online.
* TIBCO server is reachable.
* JMX endpoint is reachable.
* Authentication succeeds.
* Required JMX metrics are exposed.

### Spotfire Logs

* Engine can access the log directory.
* Required files exist.
* Monitoring account can read the files.
* Spotfire is actively generating the expected logs.

Once deployment has been validated, continue with **Configure Monitoring for TIBCO**.
