The Backburner Monitor allows pausing, restarting, and reassigning jobs and tasks to different render nodes as well as creating and managing render node groups and verification that the servers are up and running. The Backburner network can be monitored via a Windows-based or browser-based monitor.
- The browser-based monitor is designed for the non-administrator workstations. Its advantage over the Windows Monitor is that it can run on any workstation with a web browser, and it has little impact on the Backburner Manager. Data from the Manager is served by a web server on the same machine.
- The Windows monitor is suited for a setup with a single creative workstation, or the administrator workstation on a larger system.
