However, there is no such information. It appears that the Hawk agent is unaware of any deployed applications. 

Cause:
One possible reason is the application's properties file under $TIBCO_HOME/tra/domain/domainname/startup is missing or corrupt. 

Resolution

Redeploy the problematic applications or restore the file of folder $TIBCO_HOME/tra/domain/domainname/startup from backup.
