Truxton Status

The Truxton Status Tray application assists system admins and media loaders in understanding the status of their Truxton Exploitation cluster.

It appears as a colored hexagon in the windows taskbar icon area:

Tray States

The tray application can have multiple states representing the status of the system.

Name	Icon	Description
Initializing		This is represented as the color gray with no icon. The tray will be in the state when it is first launched until it finishes initializing.
Services Off		This is represented by bright yellow with a Z icon. It means that either the Les service or Truxton Service has been turned off. Media will not progress in processing or loading states until both are turned back on. A user might want to turn off services if they want to reclaim things like system memory.
Unlicensed		This is represented by bright red with a exclamation icon. It means that the license is invalid or has expired. They will not be able to load data.
Idle		This is represented by purple with a checkmark. It means Truxton is idle and not processing any media at the moment.

Additionally, the tray application will provide notifications between state changes.
