I can't discard the possibility. When the dashboard is loaded, the
agent process subscribes to the cpx_monitor. Each the cpx_monitor
gets an event, it goes through it's subscription list, and has to call
a function which determines if the event should be sent to that
subscriber. In the case of the dashboard, it always returns true.
Once the agent_web_connection gets the event, it creates a new json
object and puts it in the poll queue.
What you are describing in this thread specifically seems to be an
issue with the ui, since you are able to kill processes from the erl
prompt.
