The tray monitor is currently designed for small shops, for example, if
a client isn't available, you will have a network timeout when
refreshing the window.

This is the main goal of this new tool.

It works like that when installing the client for the first time.

It has this function, and it can be improved. The main goal is to have a
Bacula interface for "End Users" and not Bacula Admin. For example, if
they can restore a file on their PC, it would be great.
The tray monitor config looks like:
Monitor {
Name = win2003-mon
Password = xxx # password for the Directors
RefreshInterval = 30 seconds
}
Client {
Name = win2003-fd
Address = localhost
FDPort = 9102
Password = "shouldbeautomatic"
}
Director {
Name = 127.0.0.1-dir
DIRport = 8101
address = 192.168.0.12
}
The Console resource on the Director side is:
Console {
Name = win2003-mon
Password = "xxx"
CommandACL = status, .clients, .jobs, .pools, .storage, .filesets,
.messages, run
ClientACL = *all*
CatalogACL = *all*
JobACL = *all*
StorageACL = *all*
ScheduleACL = *all*
PoolACL = *all*
FileSetACL = *all*
WhereACL = *all*
}
You can change ACL to restrict what the client can run. This is a new
feature, and I expect some problems with it.
Bye
