Quick start:
    * Go to "Sign Up"
    * Go to "My configs"
    * Create new personalized rig configuration by clicking "New config" button
        Name - Config name. Example: Claymore_eth_dcr
        Miner name - Select supported miner
        Currency 1 - Select main currency (use ETH for ethereum classic also)
        Currency 2 - Select additional currency for dual mining (only for claymore dual miner)
        Miner path - Local path to your miner exe (on your miner rig). Relative path will be automatically substituted here when select miner name.
        Miner command line - Command line for "Miner name".
        Example: -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0xe32e31452345253159223233/$rigName/$rigEmail -epsw x (for Claymore dual miner).
        IMPORTANT: You should use $rigName and $rigEmail for substitution corresponding values.
        Click update button
    * Create a new rig on My rigs page
        Name - It is worker name at your mining pool. Correspond with $rigName macros in a config file.
        Email - It is worker email at your mining pool. Correspond with $rigEmail macros in a config file.
        Config file - The file with your miner path and command line.
        Comment - It's just a rig label. Example: Asus Rx570 x6
        From number, To number - values for $rigNum local macros. For multiple rigs creation at once.
        Example - Name: rig_$rigNum, From number: 3, To number: 5. The result will be 3 new rigs named rig_3, rig_4 and rig_5. That's it.
        Click Create button
    * You have to copy the token from your new rig. It looks like 0c837fd0c85ed72be27b88a3e29383a9.
    * Download the client and unpack it
    * Open the config.txt in the mwatcher software folder and copy your rig token key there. Save the file.
    * Start the client
    * You need wait few minutes to refresh your stats at the minerwatcher site

Usefull tricks (please, READ this):

* You have to disable miner built-in watchdog or setup it to reboot the rig if error occured! Use option "-r 1" in Claymore. The reboot.bat file (contents: shutdown / r / t 5 / f) should also be in the folder with the miner.
* Make sure that the firewall does not block neither the miner nor the minerwatcher! To do this, either just disable the built-in firewall, or add the above programs to the firewall's whitelist.
* Do not use to much overclocked videocards with this system. Crashes are possible!
* If you download the version of the program with the miners, then you do not even need to specify the path to the exe-miner when creating the config!
* When specifying the name of the miner, the relative path to the exe-miner will be substituted automatically.
   For example, for Claymore it will be miners\claymore_dual\EthDcrMiner64.exe

How to create one config for many rigs very fast?

First of all you need to create a config. Most likely you will need only 1-3 configs on ALL of your rigs!

Let's consider an example - you need to make a config on ZEC pool, for 50 rigs. Each rig has a name of the form rig_1, rig_2 ... rig_50.

Accordingly, the command line looks like this:
--server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user h7sHdsdiDsdksdfjDKSd9df83jfd2.rig_1 --pass x
--server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user h7sHdsdiDsdksdfjDKSd9df83jfd2.rig_2 --pass x
...
--server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user h7sHdsdiDsdksdfjDKSd9df83jfd2.rig_50 --pass x

So you need to create this config:

--server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user h7sHdsdiDsdksdfjDKSd9df83jfd2.$rigName --pass x

The macro $rigName, when adding a rig will be replaced by its name!

Then we go to the rig addition page. We click My rigs -> new rig.

Here is the name of the worker:
Rig_$rigNum

Next, we select the numerical range of numbers of rigs:
From number: 1
To number: 50

Click "Create". After that, you have 50 rigs, each worker name in the command line will be substituted with the corresponding name of the worker.

Then a similar operation can be performed for a Ethereum configs.
I also note that the macro $rigEmail is supported also. It can be substituted in the command line of the miner and it will be replaced by the email you specified.

That's it! Good luck and huge hashrate for you guys!
sincerely, MinerWatcher team

Please fix the screenshots. Nothing shown.

Sorry for this, fixed!

OP is a newbie. How do we trust this program is no spyware?

I assume you are offering this program as a freeware, so do you intend to charge for it future? Find it hard to believe this service is for pure altruistic purposes.

very nice, i might give it a try, those other services charge a premium
but i would rather have it running on my own server with the exe compiled myself, trust issues.
i wish there was an open source version.. i think its not too hard to code this, i have to hit the books again...

but for now, thanks for this service, i didnt try it yet, waiting for more people to check the file out, i maybe install sandboxie only to check it out.

also this feature makes me worry on all mining stats services....

it basicly gives your webserver full control over my worker.
and in case you didnt properly secure the server attackers could compromise the operation.

_{kw29 #deeponion w121c646/05}

Hey. The service is freeware now, donations are welcome )

The watcher program is only send stats from a miner console to the server via 1 POST request (thru 80 port) every 60 secs. And nothing more.
So there is no hidden miner\spyware. You can check CPU\GPU load is 0% all time. And what can i steal from mining rigs? Claymore miner? :)

Anyway, any person can check the software using sandbox or other tools. If it is spyware - we will see abuse posts bellow soon. It is very simple to check this for researchers.


Not full control. Only basic functionality - reboot rig, run program, change config or miner. These functions are reason why we decided to start this project!
Do not worry, we did a bunch of other more complex projects and there were no success hacks. Anyway you can try)

Thank you for your interest!

some virustotal nad chcecksums would benice

There are some false-positives, as always, but mostly clean. Seems it is because of UPX compressor.

If I use aspack exe packer - there are better results:

https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/98374e49fa0847ed0606b041498e78bb251c7c84de02dbcb4d0af6a72e1675f7/detection

Will stay with aspack. Do not want to confuse you, guys :)

awesome app!  I love it.  A few things of note:

- Any chance you can add all the supported coins/algos from ccminer?
- Is there an easy way to stop/start the job from the dashboard?  
- Instead of AVG temps and fans, I think it would be more helpful, at least to me, to list the CURRENT temps and fan speed.
- The local app doesn't want to exit.  I had to go into task manager (win10) to end the process.  

Otherwise, a great start!

Thanks again

Hey, thanx for review!
1) Ok, which coins you want me to add?
2) Hmm.. It's only possible to CHANGE mining config/miner. My goal is to run all miner machines 24/7 :) Anyway i will implement new command "STOPTASK" in next software version.
3) Added to TODO list
4) Exit button work perfectly for me, weird. I need more details.

thanks for your awnser, i must say without the ability to upload files it is a little saver than i originally thought.
malicous updates are not impossible but very unlikely. its still a financial service and with enough attention there will be hacks.

why include the miner and not links to original download of miner?
i know it is to make it easy for newbies, but maybe its better to write a detailed intruction rather than including 3rd party software.

talking about ccminer algos, why not include all of them. i myself would like deeponion on the list.
its my first x13 coin and for me there is still much to learn.

_{kw29 #deeponion w112c612/04}

at the moment, i would love to see CHC added to the list (c11 algo).   

As for not being able to exit, i rebooted my computer and everything is fine now.

current wattage for each card is a monitoring parameter that I find useful.

Thanks again for this awesome service.

Hey!
1) I can add some checkboxes in the mwatcher, that disable upload miners or update self option from the server.
In our experience, with our other services with 1000-s of active users, the only possibility to hack - is a simple password.

2) There are 2 options - single mwatcher exe and mwatcher exe with miners. You can select what you like.
The simplicity of 2nd option is:
You download single ZIP, unpack and you are ready to go. When you create new rig in the CP, no need to write full path to the miner, it will be selected automatically (for example if you choose Claymore dual, the system will substitute such local path: "miners\claymore_dual\EthDcrMiner64.exe").
Just add your command line and you are ready to start.

3) All of them are included. I can add nessessary coins in the CP, np.


Ok, will add CHC.
I do not use OpenHardwareMonitor, I just grab the info from console. Only ewbf shows wattage, so i didn't implemented it. OHM will add more asspain (need to start as admin, cannot set autorun, highly detected, big size etc)

UPDATE:

1) The problem with 6+ GPUs rigs is solved!

2) There are 2 new commands in the admin panel: RESTART and STOP.

3) The problem with the speeds of ccMiner is fixed (in the latest version of the watcher 1.03).
 

That's all for now, thank you for your attention!

just another windows monitoring tool!

Really nice would be a tool like this with full linux support.

any plans to support ethminer?

They have no API but modded version with API is here https://github.com/JamesSmith2/ethminer/releases

Hi. It is no needed API for me to add. I just grab the info directly from console and send to the server.
Is there any sense to add ethminer? Claymore dual is the fastest now... (that's why it is not added yet)

Claymore dual gives 50MH/s, ethminer 80MH/s

Are you sure? On which GPUs?

4 x nVidia Tesla K10

only watch？

I think autorestart  will better when  0 SOL error.

Tesla is very rare GPU (never seen and tested). Generally claymore better then ethminer with radeons/geforces.
I will add ethminer if ther will more requests.

I can offer a donation to get it working with ethminer. Your software is very nice and would love to use it with ethminer.

I will add such functionality in next update.


I will add this miner in the next update. But this miner only show the TOTAL SPEED in the console. So there were no temps and fan speed :(

UPDATE

Ethminer support added!

Claymore Zcash support added!

Charts loading speed greatly increased.

UPDATE

1) We made the experimental function to reboot rig, when the speed slowdown.
Compare the average speed for the last 5 minutes with the average speed for the last 6-10 minutes.
And if the first number is lower by X%, then the reboot command is sent.
The threshold of operation in % is set in the options of the rig (click edit). Soon mass change of % through Multiple edit will be available.

2) If the fan speed drops to 0, or the speed of any of the rigs drops to 0, then change the color of the record to red for clarity.

Hey, thanx!
You cannot use this into the command line.
Command line is only 1 line!
No need to write this .BAT file commands, like setx, pause etc...
Example: -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal ETH_WALLET/$rigName/$rigEmail -epsw x

P.S. If you need to add values above to the environment variables, just do it directly using windows control panel or separate bat file (it is only need to run once).

Hey! Thanx. It is freeware.
Maybe i will ask some fee for servers and time in future, when the service will be strong and 100% bugfree.

Can you add email notifications?

My fans show N/A. How can I fix this? Using EWBF.

Sure, will add in the mean time.


The watcher grabs information directly from the miner console. EWBF do not show Fans speed there, unfortunately. So i can do nothing with this, sorry.

Got any upcoming features you are planning on adding?

UPDATE
 
Added a function to intercept the windows reboot event !
If for some reason during the watcher software working process windows will be rebooted, you will be notified via Telegram.
Also the reboot counter will be incremented in the user panel.
There is new button in the watcher - Reset reboots count. You can reset the reboot counter anytime.
 
This function will help those who have over-overlocked GPUs (which I strongly do not recommend to do) and rig often goes into reboot. Reduce the frequencies a little until the frequent reboots stop.
Also, if, for example, a contact was burnt on a riser and the rig began cyclical rebooting, the telegram will spam you with messages about the reboot and will not let you ruin the machine :)
 
Successful mining to all, and I continue to work further)

Nice keep up the good work. For miners when fan speed monitoring is not available could the fan speed be hidden or maybe change the color instead of red?

Done!

Can I run 2 miner applications on a single rig with minerwatcher?

Only 1 miner process can be watchable currently.

UPDATE

1) Notification in telegram, if one or more video cards have fallen off
2) Notification in telegram, in case of a hashrate drop by X% (check the option in the rig options)
2) Added logs of actions for each rig (in the list of rigs - Logs)

Windows 10, Defender is flagging the mwatcher executable as malware/threat.  anyone else getting this? is it safe to ignore?

Trojan:Win32/Fuery.B!cl

Would be great to be able to watch 2. For example 1 GPU 1 CPU

Cheets

There are some false-positive results because of EXE packer (AsPack).
Exe is mostly clean - http://viruscheckmate.com/id/sXEWaU3MzYjt


Rejects are shown in claymore only. Do not sure right now if this option really needed.

Would you consider releasing this as pure code? On a licensed basis? So that I could run the server side myself. Too risky to allow such a powerful piece of software run on a third party server.

I have no such plans nowadays.

i second this! would be AWESOME!

Nice software!
Is it still under development? Are the OP is still with us? :)

Nice software ....could xmr-stak be added?

website is down, this monitor is still supported by the developer?
