The panel view allows us to monitor all agents. Agents can be filtered by status and VNC access, and hidden at will. Screenshots are refreshed automatically.

The panel view has two layouts:
* A *mosaic* with screenshoots of all the agents and shortcuts to the main actions.
* A *table* listing all agents and detailed information such as state, disk space, next schedule etc.
