    Clicking the Workers tab switches the interface to focus on the Workers (hosts):

    This changes the Filter Bar (1), the main pane (2), and the Details Pane (3). General overview is:

    1. Filter Bar Use the Filter Bar to filter down the Host Layout to include only those hosts you are interested in.
    2. Farm Layout Pane The most significant portion of the host control and monitoring workflow. Hosts that are displayed here can be filtered, sorted and selected.
    3. Host Details Pane The "Properties" tab displays details about the host including the properties, resources and in-stalled job types. The "Configuration" tab will display all the configuration properties for the Worker as well.
    4. Status Pane Feedback on what the GUI is doing.

    Filter Bar

    You can type strings into the search box, or click on the filter buttons to restrict the display to any of Idle, Running, Locked or Down Workers.

    Farm Layout Pane

    This shows all the Workers that the Qube! Supervisor knows about, along with key information about each. As with other Qube! views, you can reorder the columns and and or subtract columns via Preferences. There are also a series of right-click menu options.

    Right-Click Menu Actions

    • Refresh Update the selected Worker's information from the Supervisor.
    • Ping Pings the Worker to make sure it is reachable from the Supervisor.

    • Jobs View: Select Job(s)
    • Jobs View: Select Instance

    • Running View: Filter Job(s)
    • Running View: Filter Hosts(s)

    • Lock Take the Worker and all of its process slots off the farm.
    • Unlock Put the Worker and all of its process slots on the farm.

    • Lock and Purge Jobs Locks the Worker(s) and purges the jobs that are currently on them.

    • Partially Unlock Selectively specify the number of process slots that the Worker has available to run on the farm.
    • Scheduled Locking Specify the weekly schedule to automatically take the Worker on and off the farm. Opens a UI that should be self-explanatory. You can group-select large areas of check-boxes and then right-mouse lock or unlock them.
    • Windows Watchdog Unlocking... Use the Qube! Watchdog to automatically put a Worker on the farm when it becomes idle.
    • Remove Removes this Worker from the list of available machines.
    • Configure on Supervisor If you are running the UI on the Supervisor, centrally modify the Worker's configuration on the Supervisor. It modifies the qbwrk.conf file that can also be edited by hand if desired. 

     

    Host Details Pane

    Under the Farm Layout, the panel on the right called "Resource Summary" presents a summary of the Farm Worker states, Farm active slots, and global/license resources. Having the global and license resources exposed in the GUI provides more general access to this functionality instead of just through the commandline "qbadmin" command.
