Monitoring allows you to view the overall health of each render node on the Backburner network. Node status—idle, busy, etc.—is also displayed, as well as details on any job the node is currently processing. Render nodes that have previously connected with the Backburner Manager, but are no longer seen by it, are easily identified, and can be removed, if desired.
