Pipelines

The Pipeline table shows the different session agents in the order in which they appear in the currently selected pipeline.

  • You can select the pipeline to monitor in the pipeline list box below the table. When monitoring stats for a particular server, verify that you have selected the appropriate pipeline.
    • When you select a pipeline in the list, the list of agents and their data are updated to reflect the selected pipeline. The last time the pipeline was started is displayed in the Pipeline Info pane.
  • Transfer rates for the current pipeline are displayed in the graph in the lower-left corner of the screen. See Transfers per Second.

In the Pipelines table, you can review each session agent in the pipeline in the order of execution. After the name of the session agent, the following statistics are displayed:

Transfers per Second

In the Transfers per Second graph, you can monitor the traffic rate in the currently selected pipeline.

As data passes through the selected pipeline, you can review the traffic rate scrolling across the X-axis of the graph.

  • Use the radio buttons to adjust the scale of the Y-axis to display kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes.
  • Fine adjustments to the vertical scale can be made using the up and down arrows.
