• How busy is the EMS server in terms of the number of sessions it is handling?
• Are there any messages for durable subscriptions on the server?
• How many applications are sending messages and retrieving messages from the server?
• Are there too many pending messages on the server? Which queue/topic has the maximum number of pending messages?
• Are the pending messages too heavy? Which queue/topic contains the heaviest pending messages?
• Is there very little free message memory on the server?
• Which queue/topic on the server is static? Which queues/topics are dynamic or temporary?
• Which user to the server has the maximum number of sessions and connections open on the server?
