Key Features
- Agent Status Overview: Displays the current status of all assigned agents across channels, helping administrators track agent availability and workload.
- Work Item Metrics: Reports on the number of queued work items, those pending acceptance, duplicates, rejected items, and counts that meet specific channel and utilization conditions.
- Query Performance Statistics: Shows response times (max, min, mean, median) for queries on active and unassigned work items per channel, along with total query counts, enabling performance monitoring and optimization.
- Record Watchers Monitoring: Indicates if required record watchers are present and tracks how frequently their lifecycle events (onEntry, onExit, onChange) are triggered per node and channel.
- Queue Management Data: Provides counts of active queues, those in or out of schedule, and inactive queues for each channel, supporting queue management and scheduling oversight.
- Agent and Queue Breakdown: Details agent availability per queue, number of work items queued or pending acceptance, and routing time metrics (max, min, mean, median) for work items assigned to queues, facilitating workload balancing and efficiency analysis.
