Live Monitoring consists of two levels:

* Overview: all channels at a glance
* Channel detail page: all metrics and agents of a single channel

The overview is only available if you have more than one channel. With only one channel, you go directly to the channel detail page.

**What is this view used for?**

The performance view allows team leads to track the utilization of individual agents throughout the day — without having to switch to historical analysis. At a glance, you can see who was logged in for how long, how many calls were handled, and who is currently active outside the channel.

Note: All metrics in the performance view refer to the current day starting from each agent's first login. The view updates in real time.

**What do the agent statuses mean?**

| Status                    | Meaning                                              |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Available                 | Agent is logged in and ready for calls               |
| Ringing                   | Agent is being called by an incoming call            |
| In conversation           | Agent is having an active call                       |
| In follow-up              | Agent is in the after-call work period               |
| Active in another channel | Agent is busy in another channel                     |
| Do not disturb            | Global status — agent is unreachable on all channels |
| Offline                   | Agent is logged in, device is not connected          |
| Logged out                | Agent is logged out of the channel                   |

Note: The “Do not disturb” status applies globally to all of the agent’s channels at the same time.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/contact-center/en/live-monitoring.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
