# No live events - Docs

The no live events check fires when your project hasn't received any `$pageview` or `$screen` events for a sustained period. It's the most serious Web Analytics check, because it usually means PostHog isn't receiving data at all.

## What this check looks for

Once a day, the check looks back over the **last 30 days** for any `$pageview` or `$screen` events. If it finds none, it raises a **critical** issue.

## Why it matters

Web Analytics and Product Analytics stay completely empty until capture is restored. This almost always means the PostHog snippet or SDK isn't installed, was removed during a deploy, or is misconfigured (for example, pointing at the wrong project token).

## Fix it manually

1.  Open the **Web analytics health** page.
2.  Confirm the PostHog snippet or SDK is installed and initialized on your site or app, and that you're using the correct project token (**Project settings → Web snippet / Project token**).
3.  Load a page on your site, then check **Activity → Live events** to see whether events arrive in real time.

## Fix it automatically with the Inbox and PostHog Code

With the [Inbox](/docs/self-driving.md) and health checks enabled as a [signal source](/docs/self-driving/inbox/sources.md), the agent will:

-   Check whether *any* events are landing. Other events but no `$pageview`/`$screen` points to autocapture being disabled; nothing at all points to the SDK not sending.
-   Find where PostHog is initialized in your codebase and make sure `posthog.init` runs with the correct project token.
-   Ensure pageview autocapture is enabled (and if `capture_pageview: false` is set, re-enable it or add a manual `$pageview` on navigation).
-   Open a PR with the fix.

The issue resolves once events start arriving again.
