- Time - Displays the date and time, click to toggle between UTC and Local Time.
- Display Mode - A button to toggle the GUI between light and dark view modes.

Scan Now
Clicking the Scan Now button takes you to the manual scan form detailed later. This allows you to immediately launch a scan against selected hosts.
Task Queue
Clicking the Task Queue button will take you to the full Task Queues view, which shows all active queues and the associated tasks that they are running. Beginning with Sandfly version 4.3.0, the color of the plug icon within the button shows the online state of the nodes collectively.
Clock
All Sandfly alerts are generated in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time. Sandfly has a built-in UTC/Local time clock at the top of every page that you can use to see timezone differences from UTC and your local time. Click on the timezone icon in the clock display of the top bar to switch between the two times.
