Broker Control page content
The Broker Control page summarizes details about a specific WebSpeed Broker resource. From this page, you can start and stop a WebSpeed broker, and change some broker-related properties, as needed.
Figure 3–3 shows an example of the Broker Control page.

The Broker Control page consists of two distinct sections:
Broker summary section
The Broker summary section displays read-only values for these fields: the broker name, its host machine's name, associated port number and process identification number (PID), the broker's current status, operating mode, and whether the broker is currently set to collect broker-related statistical data.
Note the following additional details about these fields:
- The values shown in the Broker name, Host (machine name), Port (number), and Operating mode fields display values as they are defined in the
ubroker.properties
file.- The Broker PID and Status fields reflect real-time values based on the broker's current status. The Broker PID is also a link to more broker process details. See the "Viewing broker process details" section for more details.
- The Broker statistics available field also reflects a current, real-time value. However, the value displayed in this field depends on additional factors. See the "Data collection details" section for more details.
Properties section
The Properties section displays the status of two user-defined, broker-related properties, Enabled and Collect Statistics:
During the discovery process, all WebSpeed brokers that OpenEdge Management discovers and lists in the list frame under the WebSpeed category are enabled, or set, by default. Once a broker is enabled, OpenEdge Management uses the OpenEdge Management-supplied default values to establish a monitoring plan and rules. (You can customize the plan and rules at any time.)- The Enabled option indicates that this broker resource recognizes a monitoring plan and its associated rules when the broker resource is active.
The Collect Statistics value plays a central role in data collection. See the "Data collection details" section for more details.- The Collect Statistics option enables data collection to occur in the WebSpeed broker. OpenEdge Management uses this data to identify the broker's performance. If you do not select the Collect Statistics option for a specific broker (that is, True status), OpenEdge Management displays only non-statistical data such as Status and PID (pid number) on the various WebSpeed broker pages. Polled rules are not evaluated and data is not trended.
A check mark indicates that the individual property is set.
Note: To set the Broker statistics available option to a True status for a specific broker, you must enable the Collect Statistics option. See the procedure in the "Data collection details" section.
