Viewing the Channel Status
When you select a channel object from the namespace, the first panel to be displayed on the right hand side of the Enterprise Manager panel is the Status panel. Configuration information is always displayed at the top section of the Enterprise Manager when a channel is selected. This configuration information shows channel type, TTL (age), capacity as well as any channel key information available. The Status tab shows real-time management information for the selected channel.
The top section of the Status panel shows real-time graphs representing the events published and consumed on the channel, both in terms of rates (per status interval) as well as the totals.
The bottom section of the Status panel shows the actual values plotted in the graphs for events published and consumed, as well as information about the actual channel store at the server.
The image below shows the Status panel for an active cluster channel.
The top graph in the panel shows the event history for events consumed from the channel. The red line graphs the rates at which events are being consumed, while the yellow line graphs the total events consumed from the channel.
The bottom graph shows the event history for events published to the channel. The red line graphs the rates at which events are being published, while the yellow line graphs the total events published to the channel. As the status events are consumed, and the channel (nLeafNode) is updated with the new values for events consumed and published, the status panel and its graphs are updated.
The bottom section of the Status panel shows three types of information: Totals, Rates, and Event Store.
Totals
The Totals section shows the following values:
Published - The total number of events published to the channel when the last status events was consumed
Consumed - The total number of events consumed from the channel when the last status event was consumed
Event ID - The event id of the last event published to the channel
Current Connections - The current number of consumers on the channel
Total Connections - Total number of consumers on the channel. The total number includes the current consumers.
Rates
The Rates section shows the following values:
Published - The current rate of events published to the channel, calculated as (total - previous total) / (interval 1000 milliseconds)
Consumed - The current rate of events consumed from the channel, calculated as (total - previous total) / (interval 1000 milliseconds)
Connections - The current rate of subscriptions being made to the channel
Event Store
The Event Store section shows the following values:
Used Space - The amount of space in KB used by the channel on the server (either memory, or disk for persistent / mixed channels)
Events - The current number of events on the channel
Memory Usage - The amount of memory used in MB
% Free - The amount of free space in the channel store calculated as used space minus total space used by all purged or aged events
Cache Hit - The percentage of events consumed from the channel event cache as opposed to from the actual physical store, if the channel is persistent or mixed
