Galicaster Dashboard is a web-based solution to monitor and manage large numbers of Capture Agents. Galicaster Dashboard takes advantage of the Opencast Matterhorn capture agent API, so any agent implementing it can be accessed by the Dashboard, including Galicaster and standard capture agents.

Its main features are:

  • Compatible with Galicaster units and Opencast Matterhorn standard captures.
  • Access to the agent via VNC and SSH.
  • Gathering of information such as: state, logs, free space, active tracks ...
  • Autorefreshed snapshoots of the inteface.
  • Scheduling Calendar to browse, create and modify schedules.

First demo version - coming soon

The first demo version is almost ready. Source code and installation instructions will be also available. Galicaster Dashboard has been created on the form of a Opencast Matterhorn bundle so it can be easilly integrated on your Matterhorn deployment.

View modes

Galicaster Dashboard provides two views to monitor the agents: a panel view with auto-refreshed screenshots and basic data and a calendar view where the main subject are the scheduling. Both views can filter agents by state or picked out one by one.

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.

Mosaic layout

From the mosaic view we can see the agent Status and the latest 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.

Clicking on a given schedule will open a Scheduling form where you can complete or modify the schedule data with a much finer control.
