Bandwidth tab
The Bandwidth tab displays metrics for bandwidth usage samples taken at prescribed intervals per second for a selected Agent Manager instance, including the bytes in, bytes out, and real request time for a selected servlet. The bandwidth statistics reflect the bandwidth (bytes per second) used by the Agent Manager instance data over a specific time interval.
Figure 8. Bandwidth tab
Misbehaving Clients tab
The Misbehaving Clients tab displays the disconnections per count for a selected Agent Manager instance.

XML Serialization tab
The XML Serialization tab shows graphs indicating the rates and times of message serialization to and from XML for a selected Agent Manager instance.
Figure 10. XML Serialization tab
CPU Usage tab
The CPU Usage tab displays the amount of time the CPU associated with a selected Agent Manager instance spends executing active processes and their number. For example, a sudden increase in CPU time may indicate that the user code is running inefficiently or a possible runaway process. Also, high CPU loads sometimes suggest that the host needs more CPU power to run efficiently.
