Workspaces and views

The workspace is the working area of the application window. The workspace provides you with status, definition, and statistical information in tabular and graphical form.

The workspaces predefined by the WebSphere® Message Broker Monitoring Agent provide the following information:

  • Status information for brokers, components, and agents
  • Information about brokers, execution groups, message flows, and message processing nodes
  • Information about product, broker, and message flow events
  • Information about the environment publish and subscribe configuration
  • Performance statistics organized by broker, execution group, message flow, and subflow
  • Accounting statistics organized by message flow, thread, node, and terminal

You can use the information that is provided by these workspaces to trace the causes of performance problems or the reasons why an alert is triggered.

You can also customize these workspaces and the views that they contain, or create your own workspaces and views to display information about a specific set of attributes.
