UI Internals

Panel view (compact)

  • The label follows the compactMode setting: average CPU across all nodes (the default), running workloads, the error state, or the time of the last update
  • Animated icon during refresh
  • Click to expand

Expanded view

  • Node cards: CPU, memory and uptime per node, with storage bars when Storage Usage is on
  • Click node: Expand or collapse its VM and container lists
  • Guests: Search and filter, and drag a row to reorder
  • Status indicators: Green = running, gray = stopped by default. Both colors are set in the Appearance tab
  • Backup marker: PBS result per guest, with ? when more than one source matches
  • Stats panel: click a guest row to open or close it. It shows a CPU and memory graph and the guest IP (VMs need VM.GuestAgent.Audit). Dragging a row reorders it in custom sort mode and does not open the panel
  • Consoles: VNC console for VMs and a terminal for containers, which need VM.Console
  • Power actions: Start, Shutdown and Reboot. They need VM.PowerMgmt and the "Enable power actions" option in the Behavior tab
  • Footer: Quick stats and last update time

Developer mode

Triple-click the footer to toggle:

  • Verbose logging to the journal (journalctl --user -f)
  • Anonymized node, VM and container names and IDs (for screenshots)
  • Copy debug info button (secrets redacted)
  • Test notification button
