Any good recommendations on monitoring rig software?  I am primarily using Windows 7 and was curious if any of you are using a piece of monitoring software that will email or txt you when your rigs have issues?

Thanks!

good quetion.  right now all I have is the btcguild emailing me if workers become idle... which is extremely helpful I might add.

I mine on www.gbyte.dk and it automaticly sends you an email when one of your miners drop to 0%.

I second this request. Perhaps there's some good FOSS server-monitoring software out there that we can at least use to get a glance at our rigs' online/offline status and perhaps temperature data? I recognize such software probably wouldn't support GPU temp out of the box but I'd be happy just to know how hot it is inside the box.

I've been planning on making Nagios plugins for bitcoin and ATI graphics cards.  Querying aticonfig remotely via Nagios would be trivial, but I think I'm going to need to modify some part of the mining software to output the current hash rate or status to a named pipe.  I just moved, so whenever I have time to get this working I'll be sure to share my XP on the forum.

I use teamviewer from my android phone. It works really well. Its more of a full desktop control, but you can just pop in to check things, or restart a miner.

It would be awesome if I could somehow remotely cut the power to one of my machines for like 30 seconds (from another machine) and then have it power back up. One of my machines seems to not start 2 of the GPU's on a reboot unless power was cut to the PSU for like 30 seconds. Then it starts fine..

Remote power would be very nice indeed. I'm thinking for situations like lockups while on vacation etc.

I worked with Intel server boards that could do this. The technology is called IPMI. It essentially allows you to control power via out-of-band ethernet. There is also the smart UPS solution where the UPS can toggle power via a remote management card but both those solutions are server-grade and thus quite expensive.

Really all we need is power-off capability. wake-on-lan can take care of powerup.

You know I offer a mining service with 24/7 monitoring, optimization ect for a low percentage fee of 5%. Normally my configs and increase in uptime will pay for its self. Pm me and I can explain more in great detail.

I was thinking the same thing, but by monitoring the Temp. 1) too hot, need to check the air conditioning  2) too cold, it's not mining

i use the following apps on my android phone:
