> #### Agent Pool Control page content

> Figure 3–4 displays the Agent Pool Control page. It displays data relevant to your current WebSpeed workload and allows you to add or reduce the number of WebSpeed agents currently running.

> For example, use this page to add agents when agent requests are high; you can add agents to the maximum number of agents that your license recognizes. Also, use this page to reduce the agent count during a lag in agent requests. Using the trim feature, you can reduce agents down to the minimum agents property setting.

> Figure 3–4: Agent Pool Control page example

> The Agent Pool Control page is comprised of these sections:

> - An add/trim selection control that you use to specify which activity you want to perform. When you initiate a manual trim request, Fathom determines which agents to remove. See the "Adding or trimming agents" section for detailed steps.
> - Three distinct, agent-related data summary tables that allow you to review relevant agent-pool specific data quickly:
> - Agent pool initial configuration.
> - Agents state.
> - Agent pool summary.

> The changes that you make through add/trim activities can affect the data displayed in these summary tables. The Agent pool summary also allows you to kill a specific agent process. See the "Killing a WebSpeed agent process" section for the detailed steps.

> The following information describes each section of the Agent Pool Control page. For the detailed procedures on how to add or trim agents, see the "Adding or trimming agents" section for more information.
