> The Status section of the WebSpeed main page summarizes current operational details about the WebSpeed broker. Figure 3–1 shows an example of the Status section. Note that the broker's name displays in the page's title area.

> Figure 3–1: WebSpeed Status section sample

> Table 3–1 describes each of the WebSpeed broker details.

> Table 3–1: WebSpeed status details
> This field... | Displays the...
> --- | ---
> Host | Host machine's name.
> Broker | Running status of the broker. Possible values are: ACTIVE (The broker is currently running.) Not Running (The broker is not currently running.) The broker can also report Starting and Shutting Down values; however, depending on the speed of the machine on which your management console is running, you may not see these intermediary states.
> Operating mode | Operating mode of the broker. This mode determines how client requests are dispatched to individual agent processes running on the WebSpeed instance.
> Broker statistics available | Status of the broker as it relates to data collection. The possible states are True or False. See "Data collection details" section for more information about data collection.
> Agents available | Number of agents running and available to fulfill a connection request from a client through this broker when the broker's status is ACTIVE. This value can change frequently, reporting the real-time changes in number of agents available.
> Should register with NameServer? | Status of True or False to indicate whether the broker resource is registered with a NameServer.

> These points relate to the fields highlighted in Table 3–1:

> - Broker-related changes that you can make, using either the Broker Control or Agent Pool Control options in the Command and control section of the WebSpeed main page, can affect the broker and agent values that display in this Status section.
> - The values that display in the WebSpeed-related Status section are obtained either from the `ubroker.properties` file or the current, real-time status of the broker (if it is running).
