Table Of Contents
The Connections field displays the maximum number of simultaneous connections that
are allowed. Set this value in the HTTP tab of the Server Configuration dialog box
(QuarkXPress Server menu).
The In Use field displays the current number of simultaneous connections.
The Queued field displays the current number of connections waiting for a renderer to
become available.
The Memory Usage field displays the amount of memory used by memory-cached projects.
The Server Usage bar displays the length of time from when the server was started (the
time from when the server had at least one renderer working).
The Memory Cache bar displays the percentage of allocated memory cache space in use.
The Connection Load bar displays the percentage of connections being used. This
percentage is based on connections used since the start of QuarkXPress Server and is time
sensitive. For example, if all connections have been used since the server started, the load
is 100%. If the number of connections used drops to half the maximum value, instead of
dropping immediately to 50%, the percentage load gradually declines over time.
The Current field displays the rendering operations that are currently active. When
QuarkXPress Server is running in master-subrenderer mode, the Current field displays the
number of active and idle QuarkXPress Server subrenderers.
The Connection Status area displays the status for each active connection. The information
that displays for each connection includes the name of the project being processed and a
progress bar that displays the relative completion of the transaction. When the transaction
is complete, the status displays as idle until the connection is used to process another
transaction.
The Status Monitor dialog box displays a total of 16 status areas. The number of active
displays is determined by the number of available connections as specified in the HTTP
tab of the Server Configuration dialog box (QuarkXPress Server menu).
The information displayed in the Text Area for Transaction Status area depends on
whether Verbose Status Monitoring has been chosen. Regardless, all transactions generate
an entry in the status monitor, and the entry provides information about successful
transactions or errors.
To display more detailed information in the Status Monitor dialog box, check Verbose
Status Monitoring. Note that Verbose status monitoring slightly degrades the performance
of QuarkXPress Server.
