Display mode

Display mode puts everything on one screen, for a TV in the office or a wall screen in the server room.

Open itCopy Anchor Link

• In the panel: click ⛶ Display mode in the top right of the Overview. The browser switches to full screen.
• By address: PANEL_URL/?display=1.
• With a share link (recommended for a screen nobody signs in to): Share links → ⋯ → Copy display link, which gives PANEL_URL/?key=KEY&display=1.

What it showsCopy Anchor Link

• At the top: a large status ("All services are running normally", or how many problems need attention), the totals (servers online, services up, outages and requests per minute), the connection status and a clock.
• The map fills the left side. The list on the right scrolls by itself and switches between services and servers after each round.
• During an outage, a red bar scrolls across the top with each problem and how long it has lasted, and the affected server's label blinks.
• When you are signed in, vulnerabilities that need action now scroll in a bar of their own (not on share links). AI comments are never shown in display mode, and the AI assistant doesn't appear.
• Clicking a server or a monitor opens its details panel. Full details opens its page with a simple header, where ← Back to the display returns to the screen.
• The font size grows with the screen width, so it stays readable on 4K TVs.

Times and the clock use the panel's time zone (Settings → General → Time zone), whatever the computer of the screen uses.

Made to run unattendedCopy Anchor Link

• The mouse pointer hides after 3 seconds; a details panel you open closes by itself after 90 seconds without interaction.
• Supported browsers keep the screen on. This needs HTTPS (or localhost): see HTTPS.
• If no heartbeat arrives for 45 seconds, it reconnects and catches up. It does a full sync every 5 minutes.
• For the traffic of a screen that stays on around the clock, see Bandwidth usage.
• The map animation is limited to 30 frames per second, so it uses little power even when it runs for months.

Full screen stays full screenCopy Anchor Link

Browsers leave full screen whenever a page reloads, and a page can't go back to full screen by itself. So in full screen, started with ⛶ Display mode or the ⛶ Full screen button, the page is never reloaded:

• every 6 hours, when nobody is using it, it rebuilds itself in place instead of reloading;
• after a master upgrade, the status shows Live · new version ready, and the new version loads when full screen is exited.

Outside full screen, the page reloads by itself after an upgrade, and every 6 hours when nobody is using it. If full screen was left (for example with Esc), click ⛶ Full screen to go back. A browser in kiosk mode or in its own full screen (F11) isn't affected and reloads as usual.

Recommended setupCopy Anchor Link

1. Create a share link for the screen. Unlike a signed-in session, a share link doesn't sign out when a session expires. Tick Show details if the map should show IPs.

2. Copy its display link.

3. Open it full screen when the computer starts. On Linux:

   Copy Text

   google-chrome --kiosk --noerrdialogs --disable-session-crashed-bubble 'https://monitor.example.com/?key=KEY&display=1'

   On Windows, add --kiosk and the link to the target of a Chrome shortcut, and put the shortcut in the Startup folder.

Click Exit display mode to go back to the normal panel.
