The status panel is styled to match BroadcastLogger, so the two read the same way when they're side by side in a rack room.
| Element | Shows |
|---|---|
| Large readout | Elapsed time while syncing; otherwise a live countdown to the next run. Dashes when AUTO is off. Turns red on error. |
AUTO / MANUAL / OFF / ERR | Current mode. |
| Filled pill | The active sync mode, e.g. NEW + CHANGED + PRUNE. |
| Right-hand readout | Connection state — OFFLINE, CONNECTING, CONNECTED, TRANSFERRING or ERROR — with the host. |
FILE meter | Progress through the current file. |
RATE meter | Transfer throughput, log-scaled, with amber and red at the top of the range. |
TODAY timeline | 24 hours in half-hour cells. Past syncs lit; the next scheduled run boxed and highlighted. |
| Job name | Above the digits: the running job, or the one due next. |
| Amber footer | The current file while transferring, otherwise the last result — time, counts of new / same / deleted, total size — plus the next run time. |
The colon blinks while a sync is running, which is the quickest way to tell an active transfer from a stalled one at a glance.
A RATE METER PINNED AT THE TOP isn't necessarily good news on a shared connection — if the mirror is saturating the link during office hours, consider moving the schedule to overnight.
