If you want to see the password on the Baculum interface, you need to install Baculum API on the file daemon host with configuration feature enabled (bfdjson configured). After you need to connect this host to your Baculum Web. At the end you need to go to: Main menu -> Clients -> [ select the client ] -> Tab: Configure file daemon -> Section: Director If you have everything (Bacula and Baculum API/Web) already configured on one host with the configuration feature enabled in API, you don't need to add any additional API host. In the same way you can monitor storage daemons and directors. In this case the director configuration for the monitor connection will be in: Main menu -> Director -> Tab: Configure director -> Console and storage daemon configuration for the monitor will be in: Main menu -> Storage -> [ select the storage ] -> Tab: Configure storage daemon -> Section: Director Best regards, Marcin Haba (gani) > Also: on what operating systems there is a tray monitor available that > then uses the bacula-mon interface?
