Galicaster Dashboard is a web-based solution to monitor and manage Capture Agents. It is compatible with Galicaster units and with Opencast Matterhorn standard capturers.
Galicaster Dashboard provides two views to monitor the agents: a panel view with auto-refreshed screenshots and basic data and a sorted list view .
Both views can filter agents by state, name ...
If a agent is choosen an extended information panel is shown, with a bigger screenshot and a wider set of options.
In addition, it has a Calendar view where schedules on the agents can be created and modified.
View modes
Panel View
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.
From the mosaic view we can see the agent Status and Screenshot and access the following areas:
Info: The agent view information which we will explain later
Calendar: The schedule table of the given agent.
Connect: Start a VNC connection to the agent, where we can control the agent directly - only for Galicaster.
Hide: Deactivate the access to the agent from the panel, as well as the information gathering.
Table layout
The table layout present a more detailed collection of information inlcuding: last recording duration, Next schedule, , free disk space, audio and video feedback... It also give access to the same areas as the mosaic view, adding new tools, LOG view and CFG view.

Agent View
The agent view shows us a auto-refreshed screenshot of the interface, a table of valuable information and the current profile loaded on the agent. We have access to the same tools as the Table layout.
Calendar View
From the calendar view we can browse the schedule of one or several agents, create new schedules or modify old ones. We can easilly reschedule recordings by dragging the panels to the right position.
