# Analyzing results of live optimization studies

Even for live optimization studies, it is a good practice to analyze how the optimization is being executed with respect to the defined goal & constraints, and workloads.

This analysis may provide useful insights about the system being optimized (e.g. understanding of the system dynamics) and about the optimization study itself (e.g. how to adjust optimizer options or change constraints). Since this is more challenging for an environment that is being optimized live, a common practice to adopt a recommendation mode before possibly switching to a fully autonomous mode.

The Akamas UI displays the results of an offline optimization study in the following areas:

* the **Metrics section** (see the following figures) displays the behavior of the metrics as configurations are recommended and applied (possibly after being reviewed and approved by users); this area supports the analysis of how the optimizer is driven by the configured safety and exploration factors.

* The **All Configurations** section provides the list of all the recommended configurations, possibly as modified by the user, as well as the detail of each applied configuration (see the following figures).

* in the case of a recommendation mode, the **Pending configuration** section (see the following figure) shows the configuration that is being recommended to allow users to review it (see the EDIT toggle) and approve it:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.akamas.io/akamas-docs/3.1.3/using-akamas/running-optimization-studies/analyzing-results-of-live-optimization-studies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
