With the **Workers and Queues** page, users can:
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
* Monitor resources (CPU and GPU, memory, video memory, and network usage) used by the experiments / Tasks that workers
2021-05-13 23:48:51 +00:00
execute
* View workers and the queues they listen to
* Create and rename queues; delete empty queues; monitor queue utilization
* Reorder, move, and remove experiments from queues
## Resources utilization
**To monitor resource utilization:**
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
1. In the **WORKERS** tab, click a worker. The chart refreshes showing resource utilization over time for that worker. The
worker **INFO** slides open, showing information about the worker:
* Name
2021-05-13 23:48:51 +00:00
* Current experiment
* Current runtime
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
* Last iteration
2021-05-13 23:48:51 +00:00
* Last update time.
1. Select a metric and time frame:
1. In the list of resources (top left side), select **CPU and GPU Usage** , **Memory Usage** , **Video Memory Usage** , or **Network Usage** .
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
2021-05-13 23:48:51 +00:00
1. In the period list (top right side), select **3 Hours** , **6 Hours** , **12 Hours** , **1 Day** , **1 Week** , or **1 Month** .

## Worker utilization
Optimize worker use by monitoring worker utilization in the **Workers** tab.
**To monitor worker utilization:**
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
* Open the **Workers** tab in the **Workers & Queues** page. The worker utilization chart
2021-05-13 23:48:51 +00:00
appears. Hover over any data point and see average workers and total workers.
## Queue utilization
**To monitor all queues:**
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
* Open the **Queues** tab in the **Workers & Queues** page. The queue utilization chart appears and shows
average wait time (seconds) and number of experiments queued for all queues.
2021-05-13 23:48:51 +00:00
* Hover over any data point and see average wait time and number of experiments.

**To monitor a queue:**
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
1. In the queues list (below the plot on the left), click a queue.
2021-05-13 23:48:51 +00:00
1. The chart refreshes, showing metrics for the selected queue. The info panel slides open with two tabs:
1. To see the enqueued experiments on the queue, click the **EXPERIMENTS** tab.
2. To view information about the workers listening to the queue, click the **WORKERS** tab.
## Queue management
In the **Queues** tab, do any of the following:
* Create a queue - Click ** + NEW QUEUE** (top right) ** >** Type a queue name ** >** **CREATE** .
* Do either of the following by clicking a queue in the queues list (lower right):
* Rename a queue - Click **RENAME** > Type a queue name ** >** **RENAME** , or click **DELETE** .
* Delete a queue - Click **Delete** .
* Do any of the following by right clicking an experiment in a queue's **EXPERIMENTS** tab (lower right):
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
* Reorder experiments in a queue - Drag an experiment to a new position in the queue, or click < img src = "/docs/latest/icons/ico-dots-v-menu.svg" alt = "Menu button" className = "icon size-md space-sm" />
2021-05-13 23:48:51 +00:00
(menu) and then select **Move to top** or **Move to bottom** .
2021-05-23 20:17:12 +00:00
* Move to a new queue - Click < img src = "/docs/latest/icons/ico-dots-v-menu.svg" alt = "Menu button" className = "icon size-md space-sm" /> (menu) ** >** **Move to queue...** ** >** Select a queue ** >** **ENQUEUE** .
* Remove an experiment - Click < img src = "/docs/latest/icons/ico-dots-v-menu.svg" alt = "Menu button" className = "icon size-md space-sm" /> (menu) ** >** **Move to queue...** ** >** Select a queue ** >** **ENQUEUE** .
