Wiretap Central > Monitoring the Decoding Jobs >

# Overview

The monitor provided in the media import workflow is suitable for monitoring and controlling your own recently submitted R3D and OpenEXR jobs. WiretapCentral also provides a more comprehensive monitor, available directly from the Tools menu. It has all the features of the monitor embedded in the media import workflow, plus additional tabs, for managing servers and server groups associated with the currently selected Backburner Manager, and for modifying the job-handling behaviour of the Backburner Manager itself.

NoteThere are three monitors available in Backburner: The Backburner Windows® Monitor, Backburner Web Monitor and WiretapCentral Backburner Monitor (described in this chapter). For a comparison of the three, see the Backburner User Guide.

To gain access to the WiretapCentral Backburner Monitor:

1. From the Tools menu, select Backburner Monitor.

   The WiretapCentral Backburner Monitor appears in a new browser window or tab (depending on your browser settings).

2. From the Backburner Manager drop-down list, select the Backburner Manager of interest.

   The information in the current tab is updated automatically.

3. You can update the display manually by clicking the Refresh button, or you can set a refresh rate from the Auto Refresh menu.
4. To perform an operation on a job, select the job in the Jobs tab, then select the desired operation from the Action menu.

   Shift-click or Ctrl-click to perform the same operation on more than one job at a time.

5. To view job details, double-click the job of interest.
