Statuses

When monitoring bots, there are three types of statuses:

  • Bot Agent Connector: This indicates the status of the deployed connector that’s connected to the bot and handles conversations using the bot.
  • Conversation Cloud Connector: This indicates the status of the connection between the bot agent connector and the Conversation Cloud messaging/chat server. This server sends the messages to the consumer via a channel.
  • Bot Server Connection: This indicates the status of the connection between the bot agent connector and the bot server. This server handles bot conversations.

To view a connector's statuses, scroll to the right in the dashboard.
