Channel troubleshooting

Use this page when a channel looks configured but the live behavior is wrong. Start in Agents > selected Agent > Channels. Confirm the account is configured, the route points to the expected Agent, DM/group policy is what you intended, and any restart-required notice has been handled. Then use the CLI checks below when you need runtime details.
