1. A system for managing a streaming environment, comprising: a memory; and a processor device communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor device is configured to: monitor one or more tuples within an operator graph, wherein the operator graph further comprises: a first processing element which operates on one or more computer processors, and a first queue of the first processing element; record a wait time of the one or more tuples within the first queue of the first processing element; record a processing time of the one or more tuples within a processing stage of the first processing element; display, in response to recording, upon a user interface; optimize, in response to recording the processing time of the one or more tuples, a configuration of the operator graph; monitor attributes of the one or more tuples, wherein the attributes further comprise: a set of attributes defining a tuple, and a trait for each of the set of attributes of the tuple; monitor a first tuple with a first trait of a first attribute; monitor a second tuple with a second trait of a first attribute; record the processing time of the first tuple within the first processing element; record the processing time of the second tuple within the first processing element; and compare the processing time of the first tuple with the processing time of the second tuple.
