Monitor Agents in 8x8 Contact Center

Objective

With 8x8 Contact Center and as an authorized supervisor, you can track agent status in real-time, for the last 30 minutes, or from the beginning of the day. Moreover, you can barge into active calls between agents and customers (Agent Whisper), or eavesdrop on a conversation between an agent and a customer (Automatic Monitoring). The Agent Management tab in the Monitoring window provides the following options for monitoring:

• View the current status, time in the status, duration since logged in, time spent processing interactions, and more.
• Access real-time agent status graphs indicating the percentage of time in various states, such as on call, waiting, wrap-up, on break, and more.
• Monitor live agent and customer interactions by barging into calls.
• Monitor agent performance by accessing the audio recordings of the agent's phone interactions.
