Exploring the Client Details tab
The Client Details tab allows you to investigate the performance of the Agent manager clients adapters that are connected to the FglAM Adapter. Use it to see their overall performance rates and to investigate any potential bottlenecks.
For more information about the data appearing on this tab, see the following topics:
Agent Manager Clients view
This view, accessible by clicking Expand to Select More Foglight Agent Manager Clients at the top of the Client Details tab, shows a list of the connected Agent Manager instances. For each Agent Manager instance, it shows the instance name, the numbers of pending messages and incoming queue threads, the upstream time difference, the number of disconnections, and the amounts of used physical and swap memory.
Figure 5. Agent Manager Clients view
Message Processing tab
The Message Processing tab shows tables for the number of pending messages and the number of incoming queue threads for a selected Agent Manager instance.
Figure 6. Message Processing tab
Clock Skew tab
The Clock Skew tab contains a graph that displays the upstream difference per second for a selected Agent Manager instance.
