Workload details

Open a VM from Workloads to manage its hardware, start or stop it, and connect to its console. Apps have a separate detail view.

Workload detail: Overview tab with hardware, network, and disks

  • Start when this Device boots — labeled toggle next to Start. Off unless you turn it on.
  • Start — boot the Workload
  • Stop — Shutdown (clean ACPI shutdown) vs Force Stop (pull the plug), with confirmation
  • Restart — clean reboot
  • Delete — removes the Workload after confirmation

Controls are disabled when the Device cannot be reached.

Tabs are Overview, Console, VNC, and Logs. Metrics only shows while running. Which console tabs appear can depend on state and reachability.

Read-only facts grouped into sections: Hardware, Network, Guest, Disks, Shared folders, USB, GPU passthrough, and PCI devices, each with its own attach/edit action (Edit Settings, Attach Disk, Add, Attach USB Device, Attach GPU, Attach PCI device).

A console in the browser (serial console).

Use VNC for a graphical desktop or an OS installer. You can open it in a separate resizable window.

The toolbar offers Paste and Copy. Guest clipboard support needs spice-vdagent on a Linux desktop or Spice guest tools on Windows, plus a compatible QEMU build. Restart the VM after enabling that support.

Live CPU/memory charts — visible only for running Workloads.
