Activity View

The activity view shows exactly what the SMS Server is doing at any time including the recent history.

The first items, with the blue gear are built-in server threads. The other items with ball icons are channels. The ball icons show the status of a channel. If an icon turns red or yellow it indicates a problem with the given channel.
