Viewing broker process details

You can also access real-time details and statistics that provide you with snapshot information about an individual broker at the point you access this information from the Broker Control page. Review this information to help you determine a broker's performance.

To access broker processing details:

  1. Display the AppServer main page for the AppServer broker you want to review. See the "Accessing OpenEdge resource information" section for the detailed steps.
  2. Click Broker Control in the Command and control section to display the Broker Control page, as shown:
  3. Click the unique PID number associated with the Broker PID field to display a Broker process page. This page contains summary and real-time statistics about the broker, as shown:
  4. The two sections that comprise the broker process page present relevant information about the AppServer broker and its current operations:

    • The Process summary section identifies the Process name and Process start time. User id and Group id values display when Unix-based data displays. The Parent pid identifies the identifier number associated with the process that spawned this current process.
    • The Process statistics section presents details about the broker's real-time operational status. Values presented without parentheses identify that the processing time determined since the last scheduled polling interval, as noted, has occurred. Values presented within parentheses have been calculated based on information obtained since the start of the process.
    • Table 4–3 identifies and describes the attributes presented in the Process statistics section.

      Identifies . . .
      Resident size
      The physical size of the process as defined by the host system.
      Virtual size
      The virtual size of the process as defined by the host system.
      CPU
      The percentage of time spent using the CPU in either the user or kernel mode since the last scheduled poll.
      User time
      The amount of CPU time spent in the user mode since the last scheduled poll.
      Kernel time
      The amount of CPU time spent in the kernel mode since the last scheduled poll.
      Process time
      The sum of the values that display in the User time and Kernel time fields.
      Weighted CPU
      The percentage of time spent using the CPU in either the user or kernel mode since the last scheduled poll divided by the number of CPU processors on the system.
       
      This value displays only when there is more than one CPU process on the system where the process is running.
