Watch conversations as they land

Follow traffic in real time and catch a bad release while it is happening.

Use this when you are shipping in ten minutes and want to watch the first conversations land.

  1. Open Conversations, then Live feed indented under it.

    The live feed: the connection state and the gap since the last conversation, a bar for each of the last thirty minutes, the hour's counts, and every connector that has gone quiet past its own gap.
  2. Read the line at the top.

    The connection state, and how long since the last conversation anywhere.

  3. Read the sentence under the heading.

    It says how many connectors cannot account for a silence.

  4. Read the bars.

    One for each of the last thirty minutes. A grey stub is a minute with nothing.

  5. Read the four counts for this hour.

    Arrived, still talking, waiting for a verdict, judged, and nothing to judge.

  6. Press Hold the feed to read one row without the list moving.

    Let it run starts it again.

  7. Press Only what failed to drop the rest.

  8. Click a row to open that conversation in full.

  9. Read the connector bands beside the feed.

    Quiet, and answering can prove it. Gone quiet is past its own gap.

  10. Press Open, or Check it on a stopped connector.

What the states mean

The feed's own stateAs it arrives, Not hearing the feed, Nothing has arrived, Nothing is arriving
A row still being saidStill talking, so nothing has been read yet
A row waiting on the judgeJudging, rather than a blank
A row with nothing in itNothing to judge, because there was nothing to quote
Usual gapThe median interval between two deliveries over the last week

Reading it right

  • A bad release shows up here first, as the same failure on row after row. That is enough to roll back on. You do not need to wait for a score.
  • An empty list on its own is the same picture for a quiet evening and a dead connector, so read the connector bands before you conclude anything.
  • The live feed tells you something is wrong now. The conversation tells you what. Open one bad row and work through it turn by turn.
The client scope in the top bar is the only scope control here. There is no filter for a single agent, and no way to search this feed by what was said.
