The Nirvana Enterprise Manager allows you to view
the connections (channel subscriptions) on a realm and
drilldown to view more detailed information about each
connection, such as the last event sent or received,
and the rate of events sent and received from each connection.
To view connections for a channel, select a channel
node from the namespace, and select the 'Connections'
tab. This will display a panel containing a table of
connections, as shown in the image below.

The connections table has 6columns:
Protocol - The protocol
used in the connection
User - The name of the user connected
Host - The host machine that the
user is connecting from
Connection - The local connection
id, defined as hostname:local_port
Sub-Name- The named
object reference if one has been provided
Filter - The filter
string for the subscription if one has been provided
The highlighted connection above shows that the user
has subscriber to the /customer/sales channel using
the nhp protocol, to localhost. The user has also provided
a named object called 'johnsmith' and a filter of "REGION='UK'"
which will ensure the user only consumes events with
the value 'UK' in the REGION property of the event
properties.
When a connection is highlighted, there a number of
things that can be shown for a the connection.
Firstly, connections can be disconnected by clicking
on the 'Disconnect' button.
Secondly, by double-clicking on a connection from the
table, or by clicking on the 'Show Details' button,
you are presented with a panel that contains a more
detailed look at the activity for the selected connection.
The connection details panel is shown in the image below.

The two graphs, labelled 'Tx Event History' and 'Rx
Event History' show the total (yellow) and rates (red)
for events received from the server (TX) and sent to
the server (RX) for the selected connection.
The bottom of the connection details panel shows 3
sections of information for the selected connection,
'Events Sent', 'Events Received' and 'Status'. Each
of these are described below.
