> #### 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.

> Table 3–5: Agents state field definitions
> This agent state... | Identifies the number of agents currently...
> --- | ---
> Active | Running.
> Busy | Serving 4GL client requests.
> Locked | Servicing a bound connection.
> Available | Available to handle broker requests.

> ##### Agent pool summary section and the kill process option

> The Agent pool summary section provides:

> - Detailed data about each individual agent in the WebSpeed pool associated with a specific WebSpeed broker. Table 3–6 identifies and describes each field displayed in the Agent pool summary section.
> - Access to:
> - More data about a specific agent.
> - A control to terminate, or kill, the agent process.
> Use the PID field to access these features. Table 3–6 provides more information about PID.

> Table 3–6: Agent pool summary field definitions
> This field... | Identifies the...
> --- | ---
> PID | Process identifier for this agent. Click on the specific PID number to display a detail page that provides specific information about this agent process and, as necessary, kill the process. See the "Killing a WebSpeed agent process" section for more information.
> State | Current execution state of the agent process.
> Port | TCP/IP port number that the agent process uses.
> nRq (Number of Requests) | Number of messages sent to the agent process.
> nRcvd | Number of messages received by the agent process.
> nSent | Number of requests sent by the agent process.
> CPU Usage | Percentage of CPU user and system time consumed by a process.
> Memory Usage | Amount of virtual memory (in Kbytes) consumed by a process.
> Started | Time stamp that indicates when the agent process started. If the broker is restarted for any reason, the PID and the Last Changed value might change.
> Last Changed | Time stamp that indicates when the agent process last changed execution state.
