Sure, it&#8217;s had the backend connectivity updates, and updates to allow it to understand what it&#8217;s needed to, but superficially it&#8217;s been pretty much exactly the same from my first usage of NetWorker with a 4.x server right through to 7.6 SP1.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s changed in 7.6 SP2. OK, first the downside: it&#8217;s still not available on Windows. Now, the upside: you can turn on\/off display sections, providing more space for those sections you leave showing, and you can scroll in each section, too. It also has had a general facelift in terms of how the displays look.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, this afternoon I grabbed screenshots of a lab server using first a NetWorker 7.6 SP1 client:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/761_under.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3123\" title=\"nsrwatch, 7.6 SP1 and under\" src=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/761_under.jpg\" alt=\"nsrwatch, 7.6 SP1 and under\" width=\"505\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/761_under.jpg 505w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/761_under-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/761_under-297x300.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/><\/a>Next, we have the same server shown via a 7.6 SP2 nsrwatch:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/762.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3124\" title=\"nsrwatch in 7.6 SP2\" src=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/762.jpg\" alt=\"nsrwatch in 7.6 SP2\" width=\"505\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/762.jpg 505w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/762-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/762-297x300.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/762.jpg\"><\/a>I think this layout is certainly cleaner than the 7.6 SP1 and lower nsrwatch \u2013 but as I said, it also has advantages of being able to toggle each of those panels off or on, using:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>d<\/strong> \u2013 Devices<\/li>\n<li><strong>g<\/strong> \u2013 Groups<\/li>\n<li><strong>s<\/strong> \u2013 Sessions<\/li>\n<li><strong>m<\/strong> \u2013 Messages<\/li>\n<li><strong>p<\/strong> \u2013 Pending<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For instance, having toggled off groups and sessions in a server with a large number of devices, I could see considerably more:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nsrwatch-items-toggled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3125\" title=\"nsrwatch items toggled\" src=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nsrwatch-items-toggled.jpg\" alt=\"nsrwatch items toggled\" width=\"505\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nsrwatch-items-toggled.jpg 505w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nsrwatch-items-toggled-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Additionally \u2013 you can scroll &#8211; use <em>tab<\/em> in nsrwatch to jump between sections, and then arrow keys to scroll up and down.
