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 AppServer Control page. Review this information to help you assess a broker's performance.

To access broker processing details:

1. From the grid frame for Resources, click the Edit icon to display the details page for the AppServer broker whose processing details you want to access. See Accessing OpenEdge Management resource information for the detailed steps.

2. Click Broker Control in the Command and control section to display the AppServer Control page, as shown:

3. Click the unique PID number associated with the Broker PID field to display a Broker PID page. This page contains summary and real-time statistics about the broker.

The two sections that comprise the Broker PID 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 appear when Unix-based data is shown. 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.

The following table identifies and describes the fields of information presented in the Process statistics section.

Table 19. Process statistics operational data
Field	Description
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.
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 appears only when there is more than one CPU process on the system where the process is running.
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 appear in the User time and Kernel time fields.
