Color coding in Deadline 6

Is there a page that describes the color coding for Deadline 6? Right now I’m looking at a list of slaves. Some are white(idle?), some are gray(offline?), and a few are light orange(?). I’ve been searching around for a guide to the colors but I haven’t been successful.

Thanks!

I don’t think this is documented, currently.

But the colours are (almost) all tied to the Status, so it should be fairly easy to figure out. The only exception (and I think you noticed) is the light-orangey colour for the Slaves, which indicates that they can’t get a license. Slaves don’t try to get a license until they’re about to render, so the first time a Slave starts up, they could be showing up as this colour for a bit, even though there isn’t an actual problem. This is unintended, but we haven’t found a great way around this yet, we might just have to add some kind of flag for new Slaves, or something.

Hope this answers your question!

Cheers,

Yes it does thanks! Orange was the only one I wasn’t sure about.
