Channel health
The Channel health module analyses each channel’s activity and flags the ones that are overloaded, under-used or completely dead.
The four states
Section titled “The four states”| State | What it signals |
|---|---|
| Healthy | The message rate and author count are consistent. |
| Overloaded | Too many messages per hour: conversations trip over each other. |
| Under-used | The channel exists but barely serves. |
| Dead | No activity at all. |
A channel can be excluded from the health analysis when its low volume is normal (announcements, archives).
