Tile view

A grid of tiles, one per host – the view to leave on a spare screen. A degraded host’s tile is tinted amber and an offline one red, with a heavier border, so trouble is visible from across the room.

Tile sizes

Switch with Small, Medium and Large at the top right, or View → Tile Size:

Small
Name and latency, to fit many hosts on one screen.
Medium
Adds a sparkline and packet loss.
Large
Adds the address, jitter and the quality bar.

The tile font and its size are set in Appearance settings.

Working with tiles

Click a tile to show the host in the detail panel; right-click it for the same commands as in the table. The quick filter, the tag bar and the status line counts filter the tiles as they do the table.

Put a spare monitor in the corner, switch to large tiles and maximise the window. Anyone walking past sees green for calm and amber or red for a host someone should look at, and each sparkline tells a one-off blip from a host on its way down.
