Hello everyone!

I've created a service for remote rig monitoring. First of all I made it for my own rigs but after time decide bring service to public because it's really useful   8)

It called RIG cards and available here: https://rig.cards


Basic functions:

• Status of rigs with info for GPUs (temperatures, fan speeds, frequencies etc.) Data for each rig present on its own "card" (as I called it) where you can monitor params just looking to the website
• Hashrate monitoring
• Notifications to e-mail or Telegram messenger about different events like:
  - Rig don't respond / Rig online again
  - Temperatures of GPU out of range or back to range (limits can be set for each rig individually)
  - Lost GPU on rig
  - Rig was rebboted
  
• Mobile-friendly version of the website, so you can easily check your rigs from smartphone
• Rig rebooting on events like: overheating GPUs, low GPUs temperature, losing GPU on the rig
• Remore rig reboot
• Able to set personal temperature color ranges for rig

Soon:

• Hashrate monitoring Ready! notifications which corresponds to it (will be later)
• Summary card with short status for all rigs, total hashrate, calculated profit, possible troubles
• Actions like reboot on different events (for example, reboot when lost GPU) Done!
• Other impovements (you can see more detailed tasklist below)

Here is some screenshots of service main page:

My main goal was to make easy in use service which main function is rigs monitoring and not so monstrous as some others.
I'll be happy to get any feedback, suggestions etc.


So, how it works?

First you need to register on the website (https://rig.cards) and download client application that you then will launch on the rig system.
Client app is just Windows Powershell script (like advanced .bat-file), so it's opensource, you can check contents and be sure so there no any viruses or other bad things. It's a text file. Also here is Virustotal report (https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/825fb2e21ad83bb4fda92872edf3bcd53edc5b370a8019abeb1d5831109ebc20/detection). Besides it uses library from well-known Open Hardware Monitor to get info from GPU sensors.

View of client window:
https://i.imgur.com/kcyL08h.png

Next you can add new rig from web-interface or during first launch of client app. Choose rig name, set number of GPUs, and temp. limits if wish.
BTW if you already added rig you can download preconfigured client for needed rig and just launch on system.

For launch the client app start the start_client.bat file (shortcut for this file you can then add to start on windows boot)

adding rig from web

https://i.imgur.com/43tlIko.png
adding rig from client app

Every two minutes client app sends rig data to server. If in 2 min period not received any data from rig, it will marked with "yellow" status (like warning). After next 2-3 minutes if still no rig activity - rig will marked as Offline "red" status and you'll get notification about it through choosen channels in settings.

Also each time when server got data from rig we check given parameters and if something wrong (for example lost GPU or overheating) we also send notification to you (of course if you enabled it).
Temperature limits you can set globally for all rigs (Account - Your Profile - Global settings) or for each rig individually by clicking coghwheel icon for rig you need.
Moreover depends on temp. levels values will be colored, so just taking a look you can check is there everything good with your rigs. You can set you own temperature ranges for each color.
Here is also nice trick with low t° limit: in most cases if something happens with miner on rig (unexpected close, can't connect to pool) GPUs stop working and their temperatures going down. So if find the appropriate value you'll receive notification of low temp and it will mean that GPU don't work normal!

How different statuses looks like:

Here is notifications examples (e-mail and Telegram):

https://i.imgur.com/yJ89HYl.png

https://i.imgur.com/wPg7vi4.jpg


For using client app you need to have .NET Framework 4.5 and Powershell 5 on your rig systems (Win 10 have them by default, on Win7 usually need to install).

Client has auto update function, but in next releases I add setting to disable auto update if you wish.



Hashrate monitoring

https://i.imgur.com/roMiKvj.png
Details about hashrate monitoring you can find in post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3217706.msg50950818#msg50950818

List of supported miners:

• Claymore's Ethereum Miner
• PhoenixMiner Ethereum
• SRBMiner Cryptonight
• EWBF Equihash Miner
• Ethminer
• T-Rex
• TeamRedMiner
• NBMiner
• GMiner

Ask if you want to see miner that don't added yet  ;)



How much?
💲 Price is 1$/month per rig.
1 rig is always free.
https://rig.cards/pricing

Any new user gets $2 as welcome-bonus for  full features trial.
And of course it is don't touch your miners. It just collect info from hardware sensors to show you on web and send nortifications if any.

And here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3217706.msg60180923#msg60180923) some info also.


Known issues and bugs:

• It's beta now so I don't except appearing bugs, I'll try to fix asap.
• Notification about unexpected rig rebooting doesn't work (not implemented yet, thinking about better algorithm for it) done
• Not working with P102-100 or P106-100 — it depends on mode of NVIDIA drivers, solution you can find below in FAQ
• As I see, there no longer any issues here
  On first launch of start_client.bat on Windows 10 if you unpacked client.zip by Windows Explorer you'll get Windows SmartScreen warning about unknown app - it's normal, be sure you can launch it without fear (and again link for Virustotal report (https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/825fb2e21ad83bb4fda92872edf3bcd53edc5b370a8019abeb1d5831109ebc20/detection)). There are no warnings if you will unpack zip with Total Commander for example or any other filemanager. As I understood, windows generate such warning every time if you first time start newest .bat which was downloaded from somewhere. And after some time if there no problems, app will be added to their database. You'll get SmartScreen warning only once, on the next launch of app you don't get warning.
  

To Do list:

• Hashrate monitoring Done! and notifications (will be later)
• Notification for unexpected reboot event done
• Rig uptime and date/time of launch (for each rig on its card) done
• Sort & order of rigs' cards done
• Sort & order for GPUs on rig
• Summary card with short basic information about all rigs, total hashrate, existing problems and other
• Adding features to Telegram bot (like getting info for rig at request)
• Addition Languages (russian and others)
• Actions (like reboot) on different events, possibility to launch bat-file on event
• Tasks from server to rig (reboot, shutdown)
• Logo and favicon for website
• Dark/night theme (maybe even posibility to set your own background image)
• Integration with sonoff-tasmota devices through Mosquito servers (MQTT)

FAQ

How I can use Telegram bot?
Telegram bot is here: https://t.me/rigcardsbot
To start using you just need to send your secret key to him. Key can be found at Account - Your profile - Profile - Secret key
At this time bot can only send notifications to you, but in future I wish to add some functions

Is it possible to send notification to few Telegram accounts at the same time?
First make group in Telegram with few people. Then if you open screen with bot info, at the menu you can choose Add to group. After adding to group send next service message to bot:
/secret your_secretkey_here
Now bot will send notifications to group!
Here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3217706.msg51516558#msg51516558) more info.

How much I need to pay for using service?
From May 20, 2022 the price is 1$/month per rig.
1 rig is always free.
https://rig.cards/pricing
Any new user gets $2 as welcome-bonus for  full features trial.

It's totally free. But if service come popular I will need to charge for it (to pay for servers and other stuff). But even in this case it will very cheap, 1 USD per month per rig for example (I don't thought seriously about it yet)


GPU NVIDIA P102-100 or P106-100 not showing
It's depends on mode of NVIDIA drivers works. By default it work in TCC mode (https://docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/content/developertools/desktop/nsight/tesla_compute_cluster.htm) and because of it Open Hardware Monitor library that I use to get info from sensors can't get these parameters. Solution is simple - switch drivers to WDDM mode.


Attention! With some new version of drivers, the described method no longer works.
An alternative method of grabbing info for such cards has been introduced (in most cases, you will not be required to make any actionsl). Details here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3217706.msg51196191#msg51196191).



According to the official NVIDIA website:

So you need go to the C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI directory and from command line run such command for every card pointed it "number" (GPU_ID)

Or (but I'm not sure  'cause I haven't such GPUs) to switch all GPUs on the rig to WDDM mode you can run


Time on rig cards is wrong
By default time on new accounts in UTC timezone. You can set your timezone at Account - Your profile - Timezone

How often data refresh on the page with rig cards?
For now data refresh every 30 seconds (but remind, rigs send data every two minutes). If needed you can refresh it immediately with refresh icon on the navbar. After 20 minutes of idle you session will stopped.


How is coloring the GPU temperature values? Is it possible to change it?
This coloring is not relating with temperature limits that you set for rigs to get notifications. It just for visual usability. It is possible to set your own temperature ranges for each color.
Default temperature ranges is:
1-35 °C - blue
36-60 - green
61-70 - yellow
71-80 - orange
81 и вышe - red
https://i.imgur.com/KwVhETj.png


How I can enable the log file?
Logging is disabled by default. If you need it you must turn on it manually.

To enable log, you need to put -Log 1 into start_client.bat batch file.
Or, it can also be activated by editing the config.json configuration file, adding the parameter "log": 1

Details you can find here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3217706.msg47740398#msg47740398).

So, this thread is the only way to know all of the features of its services?
Checked on your website, it only showed login form and one only Nav Menu to register.

Good job, but may I'll try when next features added.


Good Luck  ;)

Can you add miners into the list as well?

Geraldo
Thank you for quoting!


Of course I'll add some pages with description and instructions some later. At this time I focused first of all on functionality of the service.
Anyway all described above features are working



You can try now already  ;) It's very useful even with existing features at the moment.
Just need to download clientapp and start it on your rig (if you already registered of course).

And I really need feedbacks, so will be great if you can try it :)

First of all I need to implement support of most popular miners like Claymore or ewbf and check is it will worked fine (hope it will be on next 2 weeks).
Only after that I will consider adding other miners. But it depends on possibility of such miners provide data about their work (like Claymore can do through API).

And I remind that in more cases there are no need to monitor miner software exactly. Parameters of GPU usually can show is everything works fine or not. Anyway hashrate monitoring is musthave too and I'll work on it.

I use the most popular teamviewer software for this purpose.  Monitoring of all systems of my rigs I carry out through hardware monitor. There's more information. But I support the efforts of people like you to make other people's lives easier. Perhaps in the future you will need to pay attention to the problems of beginners with the settings of the equipment. Then you can make money on this software.

Teamviewer it's solution, yes, and I also used it. BTW which hardware monitor you use?

But such service as rig.cards is more comfortable even for me. Hope I'm not beginner already :)
Try to explain why it useful:

If you have a ten rigs for example, to check is everything fine with them you need to connect to each rig and check it. Or you need to have dedicated PC in same network with installed software that will collect data from rigs through lan.
In both cases you need to connect using teamviewer and check status from time to time.
And what if you rigs located at the different locations?

With my service you can open website from anywhere and watch status of you rigs on single webpage (even from smartphone when you walking on the street). Moreover you even don't must do it, 'cause if something happens wrong you'll receive notification about it.

Anyway it's interesting to hear how other people monitor their rigs.

So, any new feedbacks?


Maybe anyone can tell how you monitor your rigs? Which software you are using and other things?
It give me more understanding how to develop service.

UPDATE

• Now you can see time when rig was started and also its uptime
• Notifications about rig reboot (even if rig didn't go offline)

https://i.imgur.com/3k8imS3.png

Client app updated to v0.5
BTW it's autoupdated


Hope everything working fine, but if there appears any problem - just let me know!

And of course I'll be very appreciated for feedbacks

UPDATE

Added feature for sorting rigs.
On the navbar you can find an icon for it.

https://i.imgur.com/GmUXgc7.jpg

For now you can sort your rigs by:

• Name
• Adding time
• User sorting

User sorting - you can simple drag and drop rigs' cards and set order you like. After each move of cards the new order will be saved for you account.

https://i.imgur.com/u0INwcT.jpg


Which kinds of sorting should I add in addition to the existing?
Any feedback are appreciated!

Good work...
I connect some of my rigs on Your monitoring software, and works well.
I hope to see some management functions like Claymore Monitor (pool switching etc...)

Add dstm's Miner ;)

Thanks for feedback!
First of all I'll want to implement hashrate monitoring and after it will possible to think about miner management

Of course, when I'll launch feature for hashrate monitoring dstm will be added as well.

Is it possible to make a telegram bot notify without a website? is it possible to buy a telegram bot code from you?

I use teamviewer to control my Riggs. I can monitor the work of my rigs on the pool. I'm more interested in the ability to remote control and change settings. I understood that your software is created only for monitoring. It's not enough for me. I may be wrong, but you have not convinced me of the need for your service.

Sorry for late reply, guys
so...


Hm, what you mean "without website"? Any bot has own server side. It's a server between user and Telegram servers. Client app send to my server data where it check for some conditions and if need connects to Telegram server to send notifications.
Webinterface is needed to manage rigs (like add, delete or any other).
It's not possible to buy it. But why u ask it? Service is totally free for now!



As I said some messages before:
Teamviewer it's solution, yes, and I also used it if I need to make some settings on rig, but not for monitoring.
And such service as rig.cards is more comfortable and useful
Try to explain why:

If you have a 10 rigs for example, to check is everything fine with them you need to connect to each rig and check it.
Or you need to have dedicated PC in same network with installed software that will collect data from rigs through lan.
In both cases you need to connect using teamviewer and check status from time to time.
And what if you rigs located at the different locations? Or you riding on subway for example and everything you have it's mobile phone?)

Monitoring on pool? Is it possible on pool to check is your GPU are not overheated for example? Or maybe some cooler fans stopped?
And even if your rig turned off by some reason pool will send message to your mailbox only it 20-40 mins.

With my service you can open website from anywhere and watch status of you rigs on single webpage (even from smartphone when you walking on the street). Moreover you even don't must do it, 'cause if something happens wrong you'll receive notification about it!


Finally it's not a necessary to persuade you  ::) You just need to try it and you'll understand yourselves how it is usable  ;D

UPDATE

Client app updated to version 0.7

There no visual changes but added some inside functionality for the large service update in next few days.

Ok, every time I read your topic, I say ok i wll try but i never try. Today I finally set rig.cards on one of my rigs for test, and i am happy! Thanks! I will put this on all my rigs.

Suggestion: Put uncofigured download client link before logging in. Now i have to log in to rig.cards on each rig to download, which takes precious time :)

Great!
Glad to hear it. Remind next few days will be large service update, so stay tuned!



Hmm.. what you mean "log in to each rig"?

You login to your account on rig.cards, then add rig (or some rigs) and then you need to launch client app on the rig systems.
For it you go to "Download client" menu and there you can download already configured client for any rig OR download client without configuration.
So unconfigured client you can launch on any your rig, and when it first time launched you just input the rig name that you added before on web and client will be binded to rig you choosed.

Even more! You can don't add rigs on the web.  In this case you also download unconfigured client, launch it on rig, set name you wish and if rig with such name not exists - it will be added as new rig and you'll be able to see this rig on the web also.


Or you talking about something another? ???

Ooops, I misunderstood something! Sorry for confusion! Anyway, can´t wait to see new version! :D

I am first using "Rig.cards". It's really useful and easy.

I thought my procedure wouldn't be wrong.

1. Register on the "https://rig.cards/"
2. add new Rig
3. Download Rig client to your rig computer.
4. It can show on the website.

I am expecting that Rig.cards can replace ETHman one day ;D ;D ;D


Thank you for your effort.


Btw I can't read the date and show on my monitor (Miner/Hashrate/pool)

because the pool not is supported?

Thank you

Anyway will be intersting to hear which exactly u misunderstood - it will help to improve the service :) maybe something on the web-interface is not clear...

Ahh... wait... or you trying to download client app in browser on same rig system? I thought users usually download client from other PC and then transfer files to rig...
It's possible to add autorization direct in client but in that case you need to input login/password anyway...

Here is two possible scenarios (if imagine there will be present login from client app in future):

1)
Open rig.cards right on the rig system
Log in there (input login/password)
Click on "Download client" link
Download unconfigured client when logged in to website
Launch it when downloaded
Input rig name

2)
Open rig.cards right on the rig system
Download unconfigured client without log in to website
Launch it when downloaded
Input login/password to client window
Input rig name


So the savings = is just one click on "Download client" link... But when you logged in you can download preconfigured client so it's save for you some seconds :)


But I'm usually download client apps to my work PC and from there transfer it to rigs.

Anyway you need to add all your rigs just once, so I think it's not a big problem at whole :) Thanks for feedback!s for feedback!

Nice to hear!

Yeah, it's ok


ETHman - you mean claymore's monitor?
It is better than ETHman!
First of all it not depends on miner. You can use Phoenix for example or any other miners for any coin.
For ethman you need somewhere launch it, for example on the PC in same network where rigs based. Then to check parameters of rigs you need to login by TeamViewer etc.

But with rig.cards you can check your rigs just opening browser, even on your phone.
Finally you can use notifications and if something went wrong with your rigs you'll get info about situation immediatelly.



Date...? Or you talking about hashrate?
If you can't see hashrate - it's OK, because it's upcoming feature and it's not implemented yet. I'm working on it.

I start using it today, simple and easy, clean look.
I would prefer to see voltages as a hashrates. Hasrate can see at pool.

UPDATE  :o

• Global and individual settings for rigs

Global settings for rigs (like temperature limits) now located in main menu at navbar.
https://i.imgur.com/sslix2j.png

Now is available next settings and features:

- Low and High temperature limits for notifications

https://i.imgur.com/vpPSsHH.png

- Possibility to choose own temperature ranges for values coloring on the rigs' cards

https://i.imgur.com/je4Ofe4.png

- Rebooting rig by events like: overheating GPUs, low GPUs temperature, losing GPU on the rig
(note: it's of course soft rebooting, so your Windows must working to perform reboot and didn't hang). Please be careful using this feature.
Also there is possible to launch your own bat-files before rebooting.

https://i.imgur.com/uDQtUHL.png

Global settings applied to any of your rigs if it don't have own individual settings.

If rig has individual settings - it has priority over the global. If you wish to use global setting for rig, simple don't set any own settings for it.

Any settings described above you can set when adding rig or it also available on rig settings editing.

https://i.imgur.com/AkZyE8M.png

• Group rig settings

To be more usable when you monitor many rigs you can also use Rig group settings. So you can set same settings for rigs you need at once.

https://i.imgur.com/Ty8zw5A.png

For perform it, in the Group settings window you need to choose rigs and set any preferences - after that settings will be applied to each of choosen rigs.
You can change sections of settings independently from each other. For example if you need to change only temperature limit but don't touching any other preferences - it's enough to set only temp. limits, any other settings will not be changed.

• Remore rig reboot

You can reboot you rig remotely with button located in the rig settings, Tasks tab.
Remember, it's also software rebooting, so your OS must working to perform reboot

https://i.imgur.com/bQEHkon.png

Awesome! It will take some time to test all these features. I like the custom colors!  ;D

Now there are problems with network in datacenter, so service maybe temporary unavailable from some regions. Also you can received some fail notifications about rigs offline.
Sorry for inconvenience, I'm workin to back service online.

It seems the service back to online.

If there are any remaining problems, please report.

This is the first problem for half a year of service working (although not through our fault), but in any case it would be interesting to know from the customers, whether you noticed it at all, whether you received many false notifications and other things...

Thanks!

Yeah, there were some emails, but no big issue. Tnx for feedback!

Thank you for this monitor its excellent, I have a little issue, I´m trying to deactive Low GPU temperature notification but it doesn´t seem to work. I don´t know if anyone else is having same issue.

Nice to see that you've liked it  8)



Tell me how exactly you trying to disable this type of notifications. Step by step.
Let's check it.

In the web dashboard I clicked notifications and I unticked "Low GPU temperature" and "GPU temperatures back to range" and then clicked button "save notifications settings" but notifications on telegram about low temperatures on telegram keep coming. Thank you for support.

Another thing man, I realized that monitor detect when rig is offline "Rig don´t response", but when rig is online but there´s a problem with claymore (stopped for some reason) there isn´t any notification. I want to help you improve this monitor.

I see. OK, I'll check it.



I'm now working on hashrate monitoring so soon you'll can see the reported hashrate by miners and get notifications if hashrate low than some value for example...

Anyway now you can use "Low GPU temperature" and "GPU temperatures back to range" notification to understand is the miners works properly.
Usually if GPU temperatures below of some value it's meens that something wrong with miners on the rig. And after, when miner starts work properly, GPU is heating and you get notification about "normal" temperatures - so you'll know that GPUs is working.

BTW why you disabled these notifications? You got any false notifications?

Because I got many notifications when miner restart and it´s a little annoying.

Got it.

And why your miner restaring? You are using something like nicehash?

No, because they have different issues, and sometimes here there are blackouts, etc. They are several rigs.

Do you have telegram? maybe we can talk better there.

So, I've fixed this issue.

It's affecting only for Low temp. notification via Telegram (for email notify everything ok). Anyway now its must be fine.
Please check and give any feedback.
And thanks for bug report!  :D



Good idea
I'll make maybe group for support into telegram too. Information about it will be posted on rig.cards and here on bitcointalk also.

Excellent man, now it´s working perfect, thank you so much, let me know when you create the telegram group.

And one more small fix — improvement for "Rig was rebooted" notification.
Maybe anyone sometimes received false notification of rig rebooting, now I've made some changes in algorithm to prevent it.

I think maybe reboot notification is still presenting issues, because I receive a lot in just 10 rigs.

Hmm.. it's strange.
Notifications about reboot 10 rigs at the same time? or how?
How many rigs do you have in your account? And send me PM with your rigistered email on rig.cards - I'll check.

No notifications at the same time, but I receive a lot about restart, but I´m not 100% sure it´s false notification, I have to check. I pm account.

I confirm about false rig restarts. I receive the email but when I check online i can see that rig uptime didn't reset. When checking the rig with teamviewer, everything is normal.

Anyway, I simply disabled this email notification as it is obsolete - if the miner shuts down but doesn't restart, i get rig not responding email. If it starts again, I get rig online email. That works nice for me :)

Got it.
You can edit your message and delete your email from there

When it was last time?
Because as I said early, few days ago I've improved algorithm of such notification and now must be fine with it.

I will let you know if it happens again, tnx for your effort!

I think "don't response" notification is sometime send false positive also or maybe it's too sensitive, I receive a "don't response" 15:14:01 and then at 15:14:10 "is online" notification, maybe it was a quick disconnection of network (but i read log and didn't says anything) or is a false notification also. Sorry if I'm very demanding I just want to help improve the system. Thank you.

Yes, seems like network problems.
About sensitivity - there two stages: if server don't received any data from rigs in two minutes period - rig wil be marked as "yellow offline" status. Then server wait another 2-3 minutes and if no still any data from rig - it will be marked as "red offline" and only in that case you'll receive notification "don't response". So rig must be offline at least about 3-5 minutes to get this notification.
In few days I'll add ability to activate log-file in client app to see what exactly happen on rig.



No problem! Moreover I appreciate for any feedback  ;)

Excellent, thank you very much. Yes, I'm now pretty sure it's ISP issues, I was going to tell you about the log-file. Maybe you can add the possibility of optional config the notification in larger period of time of 3 or 4 iterations (7 or 10 minutes) if is possible or not to difficult to achieve. Thank you again.

So... about "rig rebooted" notification... Unfortunatelly I've catched false notification on one of my own rigs...
Next client app release will has ability to log some data and I'll try to understand how it's happens.
Anyway such false notification appears very rarely, but if you got same - give me know.

UPDATE

Client app updated to version 0.7.1

(The update will occur automatically if you have not disabled the auto-update feature)

Now you can enable logging and record different parameters and events to a log-file on disk.

In particular, all the data sent by the rig to the server containing information about rig state, gpu etc. are logged.
The log file is saved in the same folder.

Logging is disabled by default. If you need it you must turn on it manually.


To enable log, you need to put -Log 1 into start_client.bat batch file. (on the last line where the powershell script starting).


So batch file will look like this:


or, it can also be activated by editing the config.json configuration file, adding the parameter "log": 1


Don't forget comma at the end of the previous line!

What is the rate of logfile updating, every 30 seconds? Thanks, rig.cards is every day getting better and better! :D

A little request, is it possible to sort rigs by state (offline or online)? Thank you for your work.

Guys, can anyone enable logging on some of your rigs for a few days and then provide log-file me for analyze.  ???

First of all I'm interested in logs from rigs where you've got false notifications about offline and rebooting.

I want to check it out to improve the algorithms.

Thanks!  ;)

Yes, of course, I'll do it

I already receive a lot of restart notifications and have the logs, How I send them to you?

Thanks!

You've received false reboot notifications, right?

You can send logs to mail@rig.cards

And I need exact time when you received such notifications.
BTW, you've got them to email or telegram?

Yes, I think so, I receive a lot, but later I deactivate it, on telegram.

I see

Ok, so I'll waiting from you logs to email

First of all, thanks for logs!
If anyone else can provide their logs, I'll be appreciate


UPDATE

So... I have found very-very silly bug...  :'(
I've fixed it.

I hope false reboot notifications is excepted now!   8)

Guys, you can enable "Rig rebooted" notification to check it.


Thanks!

Forgot to answer for some questions...

So
logfile is updating every time when rig sends info to server. It happens every 100-110 seconds.

It's good idea but... I don't sure is there possible to re-order cards without refreshing page.... need to check it.

How you wish to order cards - offline on top? or online on top?

Either way, if I have to choose offline first.
Another thing I want to tell you, don't you think it's easier use frequency to know if a card is mining or not, normally if it's mining cpu clock is around 1000-1200Mhz and memory clock 1700-2100Mhz and if it's not mining 300Mhz (idle), I thought you can use it because monitor already have these values.
Thank you.

Attention!!! Scheduled maintenance on the server!


Nov 23rd, Fri, from 10:00 till 20:00 UTC (https://time.is/ru/UTC) will be scheduled maintenance on the server.

Likely, it will take significantly less time than pointed above.



In order to prevent false notifications, notifications "rig offline" and "rig online" will be disabled for some time intervals.

It is also possible lack of connection with the server.


Upon completion of the work, this will be further reported, incl. in this topic.


In case of any problems, please report in this topic or mail to mail@rig.cards
I hope that for users everything will pass unnoticed, but anyway...

Maintenance is over!  :D

In case of any problems, please report to this topic or mail@rig.cards

Another one stage of maintenance!

Dec 8th, Sat, from 10:00 till 11:00 UTC (https://time.is/ru/UTC) will be scheduled maintenance on the server.

In this period possible lost connection with server for 10-15 minutes.


In order to prevent false notifications, notifications "rig offline" and "rig online" will be disabled temporarily.


Upon completion of the work, this will be further reported, incl. in this topic.


In case of any problems, please report in this topic or mail to mail@rig.cards

Maintenance is over! Notifications enabled

In case of any problems, please report to this topic or mail@rig.cards

Fix

Fixed a small bug because of which some users could not connect Telegram. When trying to connect, nothing happened. (in practice, this problem occurred only once)

If you had such issue - try to connect Telegram again.

UPDATE  ::)

Client app updated to version 0.7.2
Small fixes.

(The update will occur automatically if you have not disabled the auto-update feature)

I have no idea what is changed, but thanks for keeping the development!

Just small fixes

UPDATE!!!


  8) Hashrate monitoring


Now you can see miner hashrate on the rig cards.

It looks like this:

https://i.imgur.com/roMiKvj.png

not sure is this is the best displaying of hashrate monitoring, so if you have any suggestions or comments about it - tell.


Notifications that depends on hashrate values don't implemented yet. Just displaying. Notifications maybe will be added some later after full debugging of hashrate monitoring feature, and finally if such monitoring is demanded by users.


Attention! The client gets the hashrate value directly from the miner (and not from the pool or from anywhere another)!

So in the settings of the rig, you need to select the type of miner used, and the miner on the rig can be configured accordingly - activate api (this can usually be made in a .bat file, and for some miners the API is activated by default and you don’t need to do anything).

You can select a miner when adding a new rig or editing an existing. This feature is also available when editing groups of the rigs.
Tab - Hashrate.

https://i.imgur.com/HK3c7tn.png
https://i.imgur.com/RXagAEO.png
https://i.imgur.com/4lhItus.png

When setting a miner, you can also specify the port on which its api is available, if the port is different from the default.
Make attention! It's NOT a pool port!

There you can also see the parameters that need to be added to the miner’s launch line in the bat-file for activating api.
Anyway if something is not clear - just ask me! :)


At the moment, the following miners are supported:


List of supported miners:

• Claymore's Ethereum Miner
• PhoenixMiner Ethereum
• SRBMiner Cryptonight
• EWBF Equihash Miner
• Ethminer
• T-Rex
• TeamRedMiner
• NBMiner
• GMiner

Ready for suggestions for adding any other miners :)
Tell me which miners you are using, which coins, pools and I'll try to add requested miners.


Info about hashrate value will be also displaying in the client app window (or if it is impossible to get data from the miner by some reason, will be displayed error message).

https://i.imgur.com/b03EgL4.png
https://i.imgur.com/6qED5cc.png

Remind that the client connects to the server every 100-110 seconds - so after changing any settings on the server, it takes some time for the client to receive them, and only after that monitoring will continue with the new rig configuration.

Of course for support hashrate monitoring, the client app has been updated - version is 0.7.3
(The update will occur automatically if you have not disabled the auto-update feature)



As usual, very waiting from you feedbacks about my service and hashrate monitoring functions in particular.
Tell how it works, maybe there are any difficulties or other.

This post contains miners settings to activate API

• Claymore's Ethereum Miner

API enabled by default, working on port 3333, no any action required.
Anyway just FYI here is the launch string for Claymore with enabled api

• PhoenixMiner Ethereum

API enabled by default, working on port 3333, no any action required.
Anyway here is the launch string for Phoenix

• SRBMiner Cryptonight

or if you use non-default port:

• EWBF Equihash Miner

UPDATE

Client app updated to version 0.7.4

Fix:

If you had such problems before - please check now, it's fixed.


(The update will occur automatically if you have not disabled the auto-update feature)

Is there any chance to implement hashrate from Team Red Miner? If possible, offcourse.

Thanks for keeping rig.cards up to date :D

Thanks for using rig.cards!  :D

First of all I must to say that I making an easy to use monitoring service. Simple as possible. So I'm trying to not overload user interface.


1) I think it's possible, maybe some later I add it.


2) Here is the problem, because I take GPU data not from miner. And even if miner not launched or you use not supported miner or miner without API, you anyway can monitor your rig. But i this case any miner has list of GPUs and sequence of it not equals to sequence that getting by client app. Even more, the sequence GPUs in the list can depends on each miner, or even on miner settngs. So it's impossible to detect which GPU on which place and I can't match these two lists...


3) It's maybe also possible, but as I undertand it can depends on mining algo. On ethash, yes, we have accepted/stales/incorrect shares, but on any other algo is it exists anyway or can be different? The question is in identical working of rig.cards for any algo.
So it's need to analyze this request but anyway it is not a priority task for now.


4) As I said before the main function of rig.cards it's excelent monitoring service. Only after all main functions will implemented we can talk about management tools.
So stay tuned!

Thanks for help on improving rig.cards!

are you planning to add more miner sw support?
for nvidia currently popilar with web/json:
nbminer, bminer, gminer
for amd:
xmr-stak, xmr-ig, castxmr, teamred

there is tons of others, i think maybe ccminer also makes something useful, well it just depends on what people use obviously

but mainly, OMG, you are not supporting EHTMINER, that is like the gold standard of gpu miners ...

Yes, but what you mean "miner sw"? What is sw? Sw..itching?  ???


Exactly! Tons. Therefore few posts ago I've asked users to tell which miners they are use, which miners thay want to see on rig.cards.
Because I can't add all of miners in one moment, so I asking users to define most popular.

Which miners you are using personally?


As I said earlier, I choose some miners to implement just for example. The feature of hashrate monitoring was launched only some days ago.
In my environment, for example, users usually use Claymore or Phoenix for Ethash... So...

Anyway Ethminer added to tasklist!  ;)

miner sw = miner software as to avoid confusion with i dunno, octo miner hw? :)

anyway, i use: ethminer, nbminer and teamredminer

BTW i only looked quickly at your tool, and it looks rather good, i think pretty much only alternative is not developed anymore rigmonitor.app - that was/is really great tool

Ahh.. I see. OK :)

Try to use it permanently — it is really very conveniently and useful!  8)

will check/try and give my opinion some later


Got it! Added to tasks.


And the answer for vmozara
Yes. Also added to tasklist.


I hope I can continue works on implement new miners on the end of the week.

I've created email for user support — support@rig.cards. There you can write on any questions relating to the work of the service.

Having issues or found a bug? New feature requests? → support@rig.cards

Of course, all comments and suggestions can be left also here, in this topic, or just write to me to PM.  ;)

As usually I would also to see feedbacks from users of rig.cards

UPDATE

Double check temperatures for notifications  8)


To avoid false notifications, as well as reducing total number of it (some users receive a hundreds notifications per day!), a double temperature check has been implemented.

This means that now the notification will be sent only after the server receives out of the range temperature value from the client app twice.
At the same time it will allow users not to be overloaded by notifications when the temperature is unstable and permanently changes up and down near the limit.


! This only affects GPU temperature notifications !


Feature is enabled by default for all users (both new and already registered).

However, for those who want to receive notifications after the first check (as before this update) there is a checkbox - you can turn off the double check.

Update!


 :o Added miners:

• Ethminer
• TeamRedMiner
• T-Rex
• NBMiner

Ask if you want to see miner that don't added yet.


Client app updated to version 0.7.5
(The update will occur automatically if you have not disabled the auto-update feature)



For added miners here is settings to activate API if needed:

• Ethminer

• TeamRedMiner

or if you use non-default port:

• T-Rex

API enabled by default, working on port 4067, no any action required.
Anyway just FYI here is the launch string for miner with enabled api

• NBMiner

API enabled by default, working on port 22333, no any action required.
Anyway just FYI here is the launch string for miner with enabled api

Just tried on one of my rigs running team red miner. Now I can see hashrate on main rig.cards screen, simple and awesome! :)

Great! If you find any problems, let me know.
Thx for feedback.



So, do you try miner hashrate monitoring?

⚡  UPDATE

Client app updated to verson 0.7.6

⚠️  Users who use mining cards like NVIDIA P106-100 и P104-100 make attention!

As you know, to display such cards, you had first to switch them to WDDM mode, as described in the FAQ in the first post of this topic.
However, at some point (some new version of the drivers) this method not working already. Moreover, after switching to WDDM, cards can dissapear in OS and need to reinstall the drivers then.

This issue has been resolved with this update! Now the data for the mining cards is collected by an alternative method using NVIDIA's nvidia-smi utility.
Users using such mining cards, please report is this feature works normally?


How it works:

- if no found any GPU in the rig using the standard method — an attempt will be made to get data via nvsmi
(it's most typical case and everything will happen automatically and no user actions is required)


- if you have a mixed rig, where there are both mining cards and regular ones (say, GTX 1060-6 or RX580), then the alternative mode must be forced in the config.json.
This will affect all NVIDIA cards in the rig (information from the regular 1066, for example, will also be collected by an alternative method).

in config.json you need to add the following line (do not forget to put a comma on the previous one):

"nvsmi": 1

config will be looks like this:




- there may also you have installed NVIDIA drivers to a non-default folder

For such cases in config.json also need to specify the path to the nvidia-smi.exe file.

By default, this file is located here: \Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\nvidia-smi.exe

You need to add the line:

"nvsmi_path": "\\fullpath\\to\\utility\\nvidia-smi.exe"

Note that the backslash \ must be escaped (in fact, it must be double)

So the result will be like this:




Known issues
When using alternative method there are no possibility to get information about fan rpm. Only % percent value is available.



In case of any questions, issues and other – post to this topic or mail to support@rig.cards   ;)

Update!

 :o Added miners:

• GMiner

API is disabled by default, need to active before. Just add --api 80 option to the bat file:


Client app updated to version 0.7.7
(The update will occur automatically if you have not disabled the auto-update feature)


Ask if you want to see miner that don't added yet!

⚡⚡⚡  Update


Client app updated to version 0.7.8

Added feature for miner auto detection  :D

On client start, within a few seconds will be a prompt to try to find working miner on rig for its hashrate monitoring — just press any key.


https://i.imgur.com/t5Wnc3c.gif

Of course miner must be launched and API is enabled on default port (for miners that has disabled api by default).


All supported miners at this time are available for auto-detecting:

• Claymore's Ethereum Miner
• PhoenixMiner Ethereum
• SRBMiner Cryptonight
• EWBF Equihash Miner
• Ethminer
• T-Rex
• TeamRedMiner
• NBMiner
• GMiner

Its possible add the hash rate por each GPU?

Such feature not present at the moment.

About possibility to add...
The difficulty is:
When client app grabs info of GPU parameters, the list of GPUs has some order.
But when we read data from miner about hashrate of each GPU, that list of GPUs can has a totally different order. So I can't to match these to GPU lists and can't know which hashrate value is for which GPU exactly.
Moreover the order of such lists can depend on miners, on OS, dirvers verion... so here is dont exists the only one right decision.

Will think about it... ???



So guys, is there any feedbacks about hashrate minitoring feature? Is everything works fine?
Or maybe any feedback about rig.cards as a whole? Any feature requests?

I've found that some people trying to set port number of pool instead of miner's API port!  ???  Like 4444 for ethereum pools.

Guys, not pool port is needed! You need to set the port of miner's API! If you don't know what is it just give me know, I'll explain and help, or email to support@rig.cards

Event more, some miners, like Claymore, already has enabled API by default, so you don't need to do anything, just leave the "use default port" checkbox on the rig settings.

You just need to recompile openhardwaremonitor lib after adding order by bus number in code. I've done it for my own projects.

✅  Update

Client app updated to version 0.7.8.1

Minor fixes

(The update will occur automatically if you have not disabled the auto-update feature)

Thanks for suggestion! I'll check it and if have some questions can I PM u?

but here is not guarantee that any of miners will use same order... For example Claymore even has -altnum option for "alternative GPU indexing". It means that depends miner settings can be different order and it's not possible to check it... What do you think about such issue? Or any miner gives a list ordered by bus id?  ???
Also for 106-1000 for example I use nvidia-smi instead OHM. So in mixed rigs it will be too hard do determine GPUs...


Anyway, thx again, I must check it  8)

Many miners use bus number ordering by default.
But if you want full support, what about adding an option in config file for default order / bus number order ?

Sure you can PM me :)

I've found that some people don't know how to get notifications to some Telegram accounts at the same time.

So, you don't need to create multiple accounts on the rig.cards, launch more than one client on the rig and other things.

1) Create group chat in Telegram
2) Add there people who also must get notifications (up to 200,000 people!)
3) Also add to group our bot — @rigcardsbot
4) Now you need send your secret key to the bot to set this group chat for notifications.
Just send message to the chat


Your secret key you can find in Account - Your Profile - Secret key

Thats all!

Now every user in group chat will receive notification.
At any time you can add or remove any user from the chat.

Here is also gif for better understanding:

https://i.imgur.com/ENYEcSc.gif


Finally, guys, if you have any questions or any feature requests - just give me know. You can post here in topic or send email to support@rig.cards

This is a great tool! Very useful. I wish I knew about it before. Great work! Congratulations.

As for feature requests, I think it would be nice to have some kind of notification when something goes wrong with the miner. Some message saying the miner was restarted or something like that. Then you can monitor the rig stability, adjusting the GPU overclock, etc.

For example, I was using Gminer and there was one rig that was giving a lot of errors, but I didn't know until I looked inside the log file. So, sometimes I need to manually check the log file to monitor the stability of the rig. I wouldn't need to worry if the tool gave a warning message.

Glad to see that you liked it!  :D




As I see hashrate monitoring works fine. So the next stage will be notifications by hashrate values (for example when hashrate decreases below setted limit). At the same time, I think, it will be possible to add also notiofication when miner restarts, but rig as whole don't.
Added to check such possibility to tasklist, thanks for suggestion!


So, guys, what about hashrate moniroting? Everything works correctly?

Notification when miner restarts would be excellent.

The hashrate monitoring seems to be working correctly. The only thing that could make it better is hash rate per each GPU (if it's possible).

Edit: is it possible to display the hashrate running to different miners? For example, mining Equihash using Gminer and CuckooCycle using NBminer, both on the same rig (each one using a different GPU, of course).

Some posts above we discuss such feature. Need to make some research on it.



This feature implemented in the backend, but not in user interface. So for now it's not possible to add some miners for same rig. But if you PM me your user id and rig id where you have some miners running I can to try manually add second miner and we check how it works.

First I want to thank you for this great tool that you have developed!

And Second If I can ask you to add an option for "Extreme temperature". The point is that I don't want the rig to be restarted on high temperature, but just to be informed. And if the temperature keep rising and goes to "Extreme Temperature" then the rig to be restarted automatically :)

Nice idea! Added to tasklist

Small update!

Fixed the issue when some users in some cases didn't receive notification about "Rig offline".

For now everything is ok with it, if someone came across this trouble - check now, everything should be work as expected.  :D

✅  Update

Some changes in internal algorithm for rebooting rigs on events (like rebooting when lost GPU, or when low/high temperature).

Client app updated to version 0.8
(The update will occur automatically if you have not disabled the auto-update feature)

Anyone who use feature for rebooting on events, pls give me know if you found any problems.
In general, for the end user, no any changes.

Client app updated to version 0.8.1  8)


Some additional improvements on algorithm for rebooting rigs by events.

✅  Minor Update

Changed the logic for notifications about low temperatures.

From now low temperature notifications will be sent only if the temperature value turned out to be lower than the previous one for a certain GPU.

For example, after starting the rig, while the temperature rises, but at the same time it is still below the low temperature setting, a notification will not be sent.
And it will be sent only if the temperature starts to drop and is lower than the value in the settings.

Hi, I'm using your monitoring tool since months, and I like it, it does the job.

Can I suggest you to rework web view ?
I'm managing rigs with differents number of gpus.
My problem is that :
https://i.imgur.com/8f1WzQw.png
One big rig means one "big" line, with lot of space lost.
Can you draw each rig block with it's own size, not using fixed line size ?
To be able to display more rig blocks in the same space.

Thanks :)

In the last few days I'm getting lots of "can't connect to server" errors in succession, triggering a lot of Telegram notifications.

It runs fine for about 15 minutes, then the problem happens again. Anyone else having the same issue?

Lets check.

Tha trouble is still exists?
It happens with any of your rigs?

Can u pls tell me your email account to PM?

At first I was skeptical, but still decided to try, in the end everything is fine, works without any problems, thank you.

Glad that you've enjoyed!  8)

It's working fine right now.

Excellent service. Thanks!

Hello. I don't understand where can I find the secret key for the Telegram bot? I can't find this menu anywhere - "Account - Your Profile - Secret key". I checked the mobile and desktop clients, they don't have it. Could someone help me?
