The Loki Control Dashboard lets you create jobs and monitor their progress in a simple to use web page powered by Loki Control's built in web server. Open the dashboard by :
- Selecting Status on the Loki Control system tray menu or
- Using a web browser and browsing to the page : http://localhost:8000
You can configure Loki Control to use a different port in two ways :
- Set the port in the configuration file via the option
httpdPort
. See the Configuration section. - Set the port on the command line via the option
--port
. See the CLI section.
The dashboard main page has various components detailed below and organised top to bottom :
- Machine Status - what is happening on all running systems
- Job Creation - click to define and run a job
- Queue Status - Queued / Completed / Failed jobs
- System Log - log messages for local system
This section displays the status of any networked machines running Loki Control. Their hostname is displayed alongside a status message e.g.
Render1 : waiting for jobs Render2 : exporting job Reel 10 Scene Five
Each host is a URL linking to the Dashboard running on the host.
See the Job Creation page.
There are three queues defined :
- Queued - jobs that are waiting to be processed appear here.
- Completed - jobs that have successfully completed appear here.
- Failed - jobs that have failed appear here.
In each case, a job will apppear as a URL that links to a page displaying job information. Click the job link to see detailed information, including any errors that occurred in the Failed queue.
Note that each queue is actually a folder as defined in the Configuration file :
- Queued is defined via pathToWatch
- Completed is defined via completedDir
- Failed is defined via failedDir
The local system running Loki Control will display logging information here showing its activity and current status
