Title kind of covers it to be honest, I really would love a simple at a glance tool to check if something is up.

I have several higher end solutions running on actual servers but a quick at a glance (including hover) would be lovely for a small selection of things.

Appreciate your hard work

Here's a dummy image, best I can do in short time.

Note, wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft has blocked the ability for this kind of hover behaviour (no idea) but it's worth asking.
Thank you again.

You could just increase your preview size by registry

Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband
Name: MaxThumbSizePx
Type: dword 32
Value: 0x1f4

Details: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/26105-change-size-taskbar-thumbnails-windows-10-a.html
Some suggest top increase the Minimum size as well:

Programmatically implementable solutions would be these: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/gg465001(v=msdn.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN

More customization would be possible in systray Icons but as far as i know nothing with "hover" over the icon effect

I've just realised that the software actually pop a small notification box (I've no sound enabled on my system) which shows me the current state of things, it's not bad actually. I notice the icon for the app has a red X in the middle, which I think might look nice as green if all up and a red X if any down but hey I'm just being pedantic.
