We’re excited to announce the launch of Zendesk real-time monitoring. Real-time monitoring is a new space within Zendesk Analytics that combines data across various channels to help customers make faster, smarter decisions.
As part of this release, we are launching three real-time dashboards, built around key use cases, which aim to provide supervisors with more granular visibility over their contact center's performance.
Watch the following video to see the real-time monitoring dashboards in action:

What is changing?
Zendesk Analytics have historically been channel-based, for example, tickets, knowledge, and voice.
The new real-time monitoring space combines data from support, messaging, and voice channels to provide continuous visibility into your service operations.
Within this new area, we have launched three use-case-based dashboards:
- Incoming tickets: Comprehensive reporting on your queue activity with detailed drill-in (requires omnichannel routing).
- Ticket progress: Details about in-progress and recently completed tasks in your agent backlog.
- Agent productivity: An overview of how your agents and groups of agents are performing across channels.
These dashboards are available from the Real-time monitoring section in Zendesk Analytics (). The dashboards are based on use cases rather than channels to more accurately reflect common service workflows as well as agents' day-to-day tasks. They can help you get the insights you need to make real-time decisions and optimize your team’s workflows.
Why is Zendesk making this change?
You've told us that you’d like to see expanded functionality and flexibility in real-time reporting, including:
- Show key metrics for real-time and recent history in the same dashboard.
- Show sufficient data across relevant use cases to understand your contact center and team performance, operation, and efficiency.
- Expand the real-time metric library.
- Combine metrics from across channels within one view.
- Add multiple filters to your dashboards to tailor your view to your unique business needs.
- See results customized to the user's profile and permissions.
- Drill-in to understand results in more granular detail.
We've invested heavily in real-time monitoring to address these requirements and will continue enhancing this feature.
What’s next?
This is only the start for real-time monitoring. We’ve an exciting Q4 and 2026 ahead with planned key milestones such as:
- SLA reporting
- Take an action
- WFM reporting integration
- Alerts and notifications
To name a few! Follow the announcements section of the help center for updates.
