Accessing and reviewing the Broker Performance View

The WebSpeed Operational views section allows you to display information about the WebSpeed broker's performance and the state of the broker's associated agents. Review this data frequently. These details can help you make informed decisions about your use of the broker and agent pool controls.

To display and review this information:

  1. Display the WebSpeed main page for the WebSpeed broker instance you want to review. See the "Accessing OpenEdge resource information" section for the detailed procedure.
  2. Click Broker Performance View in the Operational views section. OpenEdge Management can display the WebSpeed Broker Performance View page, which can be comprised of data summary sections and graphs, as shown:
Data summary sections

The summarized display-only text data on this page consists of two sections:

Graphs presentation section

The graphs presentation section of the Broker Performance View contains three graphs: WS Broker Request, WS Broker Activity Status, and Client Connections. If conditions for data collection are set and the Trend option is selected, the graphically displayed data associated with each of these graphs complements the summarized text data that displays on the WebSpeed Broker Performance View page. See the "Data collection details" section for details.

One display format for these graphs, as shown on the Broker Performance View page, is a line graph. This format measures how a particular broker-related activity has changed over a period of time.

Table 3–8 briefly describes each of these graphs.

Table 3–8: WebSpeed Broker performance-related graphs 
This WebSpeed Broker graph . . .
Displays two lines of . . .
WS Broker Request
Broker-related performance data over a specified time period. The blue line identifies the number of requests that the broker has completed. The red line identifies the number of requests that this same broker has received in this time period.
WS Broker Activity Status
Broker-related performance data over a specified time period. The blue line identifies the percent of requests that the broker has rejected, up to and including the last poll OpenEdge Management has completed for this broker resource. The red line identifies the percent of requests in the queue waiting for the broker, up to and including the last poll completed.
Client Connections
Client connections related to this broker over a specified time period. The blue line identifies the client total number of connections requested. The red line identifies the number of clients currently connected to this broker.

Note: It is possible for this graph to accurately show that the number of current connections is higher than the total number of connections. The Clients Total reflects only new connections over the specified time period. In contrast, the Clients Current reflects all current connections, both newly connected and those that might still be connected from a previous polling period, in place when the graph is displayed.

See the "Changing OpenEdge pinup graphical displays" section for details about changing the data appearance of graphs.
