Agent pool data initial configuration section

The Agent pool initial configuration section identifies WebSpeed broker configuration properties set in the ubroker.properties file. These values display in a read-only mode.

Table 3–4 identifies and describes each field that displays in the Agent pool data initial configuration section.

Table 3–4: Agent pool data initial configuration field definitions 
This property field...
Identifies...
Initial number of agents to start
The value Fathom references when the WebSpeed broker starts agents. Depending on your license agreement and your strategy for setting up your configuration information in the ubroker.properties file, this value may be the same as the value displayed in the Licensed to start field.
Minimum agents
The minimum number of agents that must be simultaneously running before the WebSpeed broker will start additional agents. The broker strives to maintain this specified minimum; if at any time the number of agents falls below the specified minimum, the broker will automatically start any additional agents needed to maintain this minimum.
If you set a trim value that would require Fathom to trim the number of agents below the number specified for this field, Fathom displays a message.
Maximum agents
The maximum number of WebSpeed processes that can be running simultaneously. Fathom will not fulfill add requests you initiate that exceed this specified maximum. Fathom will display a message to state this condition so that you can re-consider your request and, if necessary, initiate a new request.
Licensed agents
The number of agents that a broker can recognize and start as determined by your license agreement.

Agents state section

The Agents state section provides a snapshot of the total number of agents currently associated with a specific agent state. The state details related to agents and the number of agents reported reflect real-time data. This data can fluctuate due to changes in the agents' workflow and changes you initiate using the add and trim feature.

Table 3–5 identifies and describes each field presented in the Agents state section.
