Is there a trick to understanding how to read the 'Status' tab of a 'Destination'? It's frustrating that the UI frequently gives very mixed signals. The below image shows a Host that is 'healthy' with 12 errors indicating it 'failed to push to persistent queue'. How is that 'healthy'?

Those errors probably aren't recent. They are cumulative counters from a given worker node so if that node restarts those values reset. The status of an input or output has to factor in multiple values (one from each worker process) simultaneously but also over a period of time. So depending on how many processes have errors and how long ago those errors occurred the status will reflect different things.

So a destination with errors won't perpetually reflect a red status if those errors were far in the past but the counters will still show that they did occur at some point as you are noticing on the Status page.
