# node:diagnostics_channel

> Node's diagnostic channels, plus bounded channels.

`node:diagnostics_channel` matches Node; import it with `import diagnostics from "node:diagnostics_channel"`.

## Differences from Node

- Elide adds `boundedChannel` and `BoundedChannel`.
- Channel stores follow the propagation rules in [`node:async_hooks`](https://elide.help/docs/api-node-async-hooks).
