I wrote this app today to monitor antminers specifically S1s using the cgminer API.

this isn't fancy, and its not really meant to be, I might add more features in the future, specifically some alerts. I use this app only to see how my ants are doing, not to interact with them or change how they are setup.

There is a UI to enter in ant miner information, but there is also a text file that is XML that can be edited manually and/or copied from one installation to the next (no id is needed when manually entering ants, one will be assigned if its missing), like you would copy a cgminer.config file.

I wrote this for myself, but if other people want to use it, that would be great.

and yes this app is similar to mdude77's ant monitor and other cgminer monitoring apps, and I mean no offense to him or anyone else.

suggestions, bug reports, etc... are all welcome. thanks  8)

Features:
btc price ticker
miner monitoring
rebooting, mass rebooting

It doesn't...  :o

you can try it out and let everyone know how it goes, or if you're available tomorrow I'll Skype with you and show you the source code.

I didn't really intend for this to be open source because it uses telerik winforms controls and you need a license to legally use them and also just to even download them...

pm me dogie maybe we can figure out something, I'll think about just releasing the source code as well

FYI SAntViewer does not require privileged access to run and to view the stats from the miner(s), nothing about the miner can actually be changed unless you allow privileged access to the IP SAntViewer is running on.

advanced features like restarted, anything that modifies cgminer... etc... etc.. require privileged access...

I think he's more concerned with other Malware that may be packed in here like wallet stealer etc.

yea I understand, its a shame to have to worry about it.

if you're game and have Skype i'll walk you through the code and app...

run it through a virus scan...

added ability to scan for antminers. its pretty fast. it takes about a minute and a half to scan an ip range if no miners are present. you can always click "done" if you know its already found all the miners you have. entering in the username and password will automatically populate it when the miner is found

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/10623643_791068244249014_4639746775779407675_o.jpg

source posted, only download the app from this thread.

added ability to restart miner. requires privileged access.

Google Chromes phishing filter pops a warning when I try to download this. Not saying there is anything malicious in it, just letting you know parts of your code are getting confused with malware.

yea it chrome does it all the time. its a bit sensitive about zip & exe files. its not analyzing code, its just warning because of the zip with an exe file in it.

Nice one Spiceminer.

Installed on Server 2012 R2 and working fine with my S1s and S3s

It handles an Antminer being offline, no problem.

One thing I miss on the main screen is the Best Share column.
It's handy to see at a glance which miner has got the best shares for p2pool.

Other than that your software is working much better than the other Antminer software that I've been having issues with lately.

Well done!

cool, thanks for checking it out. I don't have any s3s yet. I do have some ordered in the sept 30th batch. still a month away. i'm glad to hear the cgminer API is backwards compatible.

i'll add best share in for you. I didn't know if people thought it was important or not.

im also working on some alerts, its a little more complicated than just displaying some nice data.

Just found there is a problem when I tried to restart one of the S3s.

Got the following error.

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

Just tried to restart an S1 and got the same error as well.

They do restart though.

Thanks for adding Best Share on an upcoming release. :-)

just deployed new version with best share.

i'll fix that bug, maybe later tonight. gotta get my truck and camper trailer ready for some serious camping this weekend  8)

thanks for checking it out and the bug reports

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ktzx7cb2ljnxxge/SAntViewer_v1b.zip?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ktzx7cb2ljnxxge/SAntViewer_v1b.zip?dl=0)

Nice one. I'll install it now and let you know if I encounter any other issues.

Enjoy your weekend!

 

plz remove this stupid post, the source code is posted and you have no evidence there is anything wrong with the app. this is starting to irritate me

The fact that you were 1) so resistant to posting the source code in the first place, then 2) made up excuses that it was illegal to post the source code, then 3) magically posted the full source code suggests that yes, we should be vigilant. The warning stays permanently.

you're a fucking moron and have no clue what you're talking about.

I never said it was illegal to post the source code, I said its illegal to use the telerik winform controls without having a license, and I said unless someone has purchased the telerik winform controls which are like $1000... then they won't be able to build it anyways. get a fucking clue what you're talking about before making dumbass unfounded warning posts.

fucking moron

deployed new version to fix error message when restarting.

please add mass reboot and the version of the software someware on top or side..


thank for this.. and hoping for more future to come with this

thanks for checkin it out. I'll add a mass reboot function when I get back. I'm in the middle of nowhere central Oregon and I have one bar of 2g at the very top of this ridge.

There is a monitor already available.
What is different about yours than the one that has been out and works quite well?
Also from a member who has been registered here for a long time.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596178.0;topicseen

its different and works better imo.

try it out and see if you like it or not. I will be adding lots of features that are not available in any other monitor that I know of. Maybe in cgwatcher but j haven't really used it mug. Tried it once and had some problems.

really I'm just making this for fun and I use it. Its been running non stop for days now without problems on my netbook I used at my farm.

I own a software company and am partners in a couple more, and I want to break into some cryptocurrecy related software market.

I've in development of a automated escrow SaaS website. But it'll be slow because its a lot of work and trying to fit it into my already very heavy workload is difficult.

this antviewer is quick and easy and fun. Plus I really needed it with my farm

Dogie, get over yourself!!!

You're joking right? Works well, hardly? The one you are referring to is buggy as hell.

This one works 10x faster and its only a couple of days old. The other one has had months to get it sorted.

I'm sticking with Spiceminer's one because it's fast, reliable and less problematic than the other one, on my S1s and S3s!!!

Why not contribute to one of the several existing Open Source projects that already do what you are doing instead of re-inventing the wheel? There are plenty of existing, widely used projects (like my own (http://source.multiminerapp.com) which you could have contributed to) that need the help of contributors.

I just don't get why so many bright devs are intent on re-inventing the wheel...lots of the "not invented here" syndrome  :(

I'll look into your project when I get back to the office Tuesday.

I'm not just a dev I'm an architect meaning in used to running the show and starting things from scratch. Its just my way I guess, but I wouldn't mind contributing to a project I have an interest in.

there is also the issue if money and keeping my companies going. I can't really commit to something where I dont get paid.

Oh hey I've heard of multiminer I know several people who use it, and also several have recommended it to me.

hose people really like it, I tried it once couldn't figure out how to add a miner via an ip... Like an ant. But I didn't spend much time looking at it.

I know lots of people like it. Sounds like you're doing a good job.

I have an idea I'll be working on that you may be able to integrate into multiminer. When I'm ready I'll let you know the details

Network devices are discovered automatically:

https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/wiki/Network-Devices

There are also several assemblies you could make use of to make life easier (and cut down on coding):

https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/tree/master/MultiMiner.Xgminer.Api

The above wraps the CGMiner / BFGMiner RPC API calls.

I do wish you luck on your project so please don't take my comments the wrong way. It just seems like there is a lot of missed opportunity for collaboration and contribution in the crypto currency arena.

Hey no prob. I'll check out xgminer as well.

added mass reboot, displaying version. some performance tweaks, bug fixes, and such

I like this one. I checked out the code posted and found nothing odd in it. Its simple and just works. The mdude one is also an excellent choice. Its nice to have a bit of diversity in the software side of things.

added mobileminer integration. now basic stats are available via the web for free. mobileminer offers paid advanced features that are really nice.

check out mobileminer its really awesome!

Nice! Do you mind if I add a link / blurb for your app at http://www.mobileminerapp.com/#miners ?

of course. go right ahead  8)

Dude, exactly what I have been looking for, the MobileMiner integration (nwoolls: I know multi miner can do it, but i didnt need the full functionality of it as its only to monitor a single S1  ;D )
That and Its handy having the asic info etc,

 any chance of getting a setting to minimise to the tray? i like the cleanliness of it, since its sitting on my server.

added minimize to tray and a default icon.

Bam! excellent  8)

added alerts

only two currently "miner down" and "miner over tempature"

will alerts once per miner if the miner goes down, or if the miner is over a configurable temperature.

if the miner comes up, or if the miner goes below that configured temp. the alert will reset, and will go off again. minerdown alert will also alert once when miner comes back up

Query: Can this work with any miner using cgminer or is it Ants only? Specifically interested for miners using the A1 chip.

I haven't tried it, because I only have ants right now. but i'm assuming it will work if the miner can be accessed by an IP.

I honestly do not know how it will respond if you use 127.0.0.1 and you have multiple miners running, it'll probably just pick up the first one.

give it a shot and lemme know how it goes, but keep in mind I don't have any plans to officially support anything but antminers at this time because there are already very good apps out there that target all mining devices. gpus, asic, etc.. etc...

It doesn't scan in my custom IP addresses range.
It displays all my miners as Dead (with of course no details about each miner) while M's AntMonitor working normally at the same time.

Win7 32 bit.

are you using web scraping or the API?

my app uses the API. there is a web scraping option for m's ant monitor.

you don't need to allow privileged access, but it has to have at least access to it via the API.

try to enable the API on one of your monitors and try it again.


--api-network will allow at least minimal api access

added BTC price ticker for shits and giggles

added custom sorting and grouping to antminer display grid, will probably add another column "group name" as to make it easier to group ants in whatever  type of group you want

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t31.0-8/10668667_793664417322730_6648174404555793360_o.jpg

added new alert asic status,

will alert and attempt to reboot if one or more x are detected, will notify if restarting was successful or not and if Xs were cleared or not.

I like this app and the online monitoring.

But for me after about 10 refresh it stops counting the hashrate, stops automatic refreshing, and stops submitting data to Mobilminerapp.

The program doesn't crash.

Any ideas why?

Edit:

I have to PC-s for remote access, one with 9 miners works fine, no problem.

The other one with some more miners makes the problem what I wrote.

How many?

I do know the issue and will fix it and upload a new version very soon

here is new version.

I added performance settings, the app has always been multithreaded but there was no way to control how many ants were queried at once. now you can control how many ants are queried at a time to increase performance.

my dev PC has a 5ghz AMD cpu and a radeon 5970 and I usually do 25 ants at once. you can choose between 1-25 at a time. I should probably increase the max amount, I will if someone requests it.

this new change should make running thousands of ants not a problem. If anyone has 1000 ants please test it lol...

the app will default to 60 seconds refresh interval, and 10 ants at a time.

I also added a "open in browser" option if you right click on a ant in the grid, it'll open the antminer's web interface in a browser.

was playing minecraft with my boy and thought of something had to come up and code it.

I have 25 ants and it refreshed them all in 1.5 seconds over wireless. I really don't think it can get any faster than this because its bumping up against the time it takes cgminer to respond. there is some optimization I can do that will result in another increase in performance. maybe i'll do it tomorrow.

1.5 seconds / 25 antminers = 60 milliseconds to refresh and draw each antminer's data into grid

my netbook which is a 1.5atom with 1gig of ram is refreshing 25 over wireless in 2-3seconds

i'll try it over a wired connection tomorrow to see if its any faster. my wireless is pretty hit or miss

back to minecraft

if anyone has a lot of ants test it out for me and see how quick it is. should work with thousands of ants. dont' know anyone who has that many hahaa  8)

175  ::)

Start to test now the new one now, will get back when I finished

Hey dude, So I setup everything and the App Key, but its not showing on my phone, the app MobileMiner, but its showing on the website... Any help?

EDIT: Got that fixed, now I can't control it from the app.. dafuq?

Unfortunetly it stops working after a few refreshes.

Application has stoped and has to be closed.

Tried with different threads and times but always the same.

 ???

The SAntViewer author has opted not to support remote control or pool switching for now.

Damn, Wish that was there.. Aw well, support the author until then!

does it give a error message when it closes like there was an exception?

maybe there is an error logged in the event viewer?

I might be able to add my 25 ants so veal times to simulate 125

yea I haven't added that yet, just got mobile.iner working a few days ago

its been running non stop on my machine all night without an error, but I only have 25. must have something to do with having a lot of ants, going to try to fix it now

Just started now and waiting for the error message.  ;)

Edit:

Now it's working....

I go off now, let it run, get back when it stops.

thx, I have 122 added on mine. waiting to see what happens.

Just one more.

On one of my notebooks I can't scroll down in the program. There is no scroll line on the right.

Got this at a startup: (Not English but hope it helps)

the XML file with your ants has some invalid character in it, did you edit it manually? it says invalid char in the XML. I should add error handling for this

One of my antminer S1s is listed as dead. Others showing up fine. I can connect to it with firefox and everything looks ok.
Any suggestions? Software looks great by the way:-)

This may be relevant.
Initially had same problem with M's ant monitor 3.3 but worked when i unchecked the use api (non web) box.
When I checked this box again it still worked and has worked ok since.
up time always shows up as error or ? Not sure if this is a clue.
The log shows this
9/6/2014 10:00:41 AM: ERROR when querying S1:1.104:80 (step 1): Error reading JObject from JsonReader. Path '', line 0, position 0.

sometimes cgminer stops responding to API calls.

if you reboot the ant it'll probably work again.

unless for some reason cgminer is configured to not accept api request. in that case you'll have to ssh into it and allow api.

--api-listen --api-network will allow basic access

ive been running with 150 for about 30mins and haven't gotten an error yet. I did fix some other things I noticed. try this new version see if it errors at all on ya

Where do i change or check this on the s1? reboot didn't help

I'm at soccer game now try googling allow API access antminer s1. On phone so typing it all out would take a while

Working now. Software is great! I googled and found API settings. Totally screwed up. Miner wouldn't even connect to pools and mine. Now that I know where API settings are, changed them in the problem ant to what they were in one of the working ants and all is well. :-)

Cool.

I've been running 150 all day and its still running

I've used scan for ants, didn't edited manually.

Give a try and and get back when finished.

yup this one works no bugs etc  yet and i trust him so far .  i really like this one over the other one not that the other one  is not good this one is much better .




I plan to send a donation once i can for this one .

it could be a special character in one of the names of the ants?

like a '

could you copy and paste your antmines.config file. Be sure to remove any passwords you dont want ppl to see

thanks I appreciate you giving it a try

The latest one runing since noon. No problem yet.

Let's see what will do until tomorrow.

It works fine with Mobilminer.  ;)

got a new version. this one has significant performance increases, should be almost 50% faster.

I've seen as low as 30ms to refresh and draw ant status to grid, but usually see about 40ms.

25 ants refreshed and displayed in .78 seconds. and 150 in 12 seconds.

this new version should work much better for you with lots of ants. give it a shot lemme know if its better.

No special characters. I only use IP-s.

Latest one looks fine, if crashes I'll copy here the config.

Ok!

Give a try and report back.

Edit:

Small tip sent.  ;)

Edit 2:

Downloaded the newest, checking.

sorry found major bug, please download again if you have already.

wow. thanks  ;D

This one send data to Mobileminer in MHs not Ghs.  ;D Was fun when i saw it.  :D

Welcomed.  8)

hah yea forgot about that. Damn will upload new version in about 5mins

ahah sorry about that. download again its fixed now

I go to bed now, will try tomorrow morning.  ;)

Back again.

1.1.7 Version.

On one of my PC-s it stops refreshing after some time. No error message or something, just simply stops. If I refresh by hand it goes back to normal.

On the other one I usually found it closed after about half a day, I was not able to catch any error messages.

what about in the application event viewer. Can you check there for any .net errors?

mine been running for days without erroring out, I've been checking the memory usages and it was very low.

i'll keep trying to see what I can find, but if you can look back in the application event viewer and see if there was a .net error. that would help so much, i'm sure I could fix it if I had that information.

I also bought an s2 last night, i'll make a few little changes to be able to display the extra data from the s2, like the fans, temps, and what not

changed a few things, removed username and password, they are not needed.

added more room in grids to accommodate s2's extra information.

I upgraded my S3s with the latest firmware antMiner_S320140826.bin from Bitmaintech and
then installed the latest Cgminer 4.6.0 like this:

1. SSH into the S3 and login
2. Issue the following commands sequentially.
  a) cd /usr/bin
  b) mv cgminer cgminer.bak
  c) wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
  d) chmod +x cgminer
  e) /etc/init.d/cgminer restart

The miners are no longer seen by Ant Viewer. Even with latest version 1.18

Hope you are able to have a look at why S3s are no longer visible. Must be a change to the API in CGminer

My S1s are still showing, just the S3s since upgrade to CGminer 4.6.0.

Experienced the same with the shipped versions of firmware using 4.60 so I'm pretty certain it is CGminer that is the issue.

Are you sure that the s3 still have API access enabled? Check to make sure at least --api-listen --api-network is used

I used the latest API docs for cgminer when I made the app

I've got --api-listen --api-allow W:192.168.1.0/24,W:127.0.0.1

I added in --api-network on one of the S3s and no difference.

They all show as Dead.

However they are all visible in Awesome Miner as that's what the --api-allow is for so I can add/remove/switch pools on the fly.

On the machine what waching a lot of ants.

Edit:

Version 1.1.7

On the other PC stopped working as always and no error message.

I'll give a try for the new one today.

I'll take a look at it today, I just got an email this morning that bit main shipped my s3s. So I'll have them soon worse case scenario to test with

can you translate for me

mine actually crashed last night as well. I was able to find the error. i'll release a new version soon.

fixed bug that made mine crash last night. got an error trying to get BTC price that was uncaught.

my s3 will be here Friday, so if I don't get the s3 problem fixed by then, I should be able to friday

Sounds good to me.

I've tried  ;D I hope it helps, I don't really know how to fit this to English....

try the new version. i had it crash on me today and i fixed the bug

Ok!

I'll give it a try.  ;)

been running since last update without a random crash. hopefully its fine on your end.

should get my s3s sometime today to test with

new update, works with new version of the s3 now.

I found a bug in cgminer 3.12.0, this is the version they are shipping with all the batch 8 s3s, and when you "upgrade" the firmware & cgminer.

its returning invalid json for some/all of the API calls, I didn't test all of them. I added a workaround to make the json valid.

works with my new batch 8 s3s  8)

Yes, I can see my S3s running cgminer 4.6 again with your latest version.

Thanks Spiceminer!

Glad to see my app generated some ideas.  Good luck with your app!

M

added another column to grid to show which pool is active. was getting annoyed with west hash going down all the time and not knowing where the miners were pointed without diving into the "details" page

Great work!!! This app has been highly useful for my small mining operation of antminers! The mobile integration I gotta figure out as I cant access the miners.

mine is no longer working with mobile miner, not sure where the problem is. when I debugged the code it seemed to submit the stats to mobile miner without any errors

Can you send more details? Nothing has changed at all on the MobileMiner side. Please email details to nwoolls @ gmail.

Obviously the service is still functional:

http://web.mobileminerapp.com/dashboard/public/pw0af0QTP3QGdE

So I'd love to figure out why it's no longer working with SAntViewer.

its probably on my side but next time I sit down I'll check it out

I appreciate it. From what I can tell it seems like all of the HW manufacturers are starting to widely vary the RPC API implementations in their forks (which you are obviously also facing). It could be that some FW update has caused values to be sent across the MobileMiner API is not expecting (wild guess).

Let me know if there's anything I can do from my end.

I just checked and its working fine for my ant viewer. I dont rely on any automatic translation from the API to your API. I get and format the stats sent to mobile miner or else it would probably be broke all the time lol.

in my case, I have my refresh time set at 60 seconds and before that 60 seconds is up I think mobileminer will think they are not responding. So depending on when I look the values could be red or green even if everything is working fine.

typing from my phone from hockey game

60 seconds should be okay - that's what I use in MultiMiner. Maybe there's something else in the mix, like the number of devices involved.

so a lot of good changes just deployed.

had to add SSH username and info back

you can now manage and deploy pools to all antminers. s1, s2, and s3. you can add as many pools as you want to keep them all in one place. the app will only deploy the first three in that priority order.

you can now also right click on a antminer in the main grid and SSH directly into it automatically using PuTTY. all you need to do is set your putty exe file path in the general settings.

adding pool deployment to work with all versions of the ants was a total pita. took me several hours!  :-*

things I need to add is an "edit" function for the antminers. right now the best way is to delete and re add them with the ssh info

Running smooth. THX!

many thx for creating a great software. looking fwd to more developments. good job OP !

thx  8)

i use it all day everyday

Great work!! I do like this tool. But I did notice a significant bug not noted in any version. If I enter any IP Range besides the ones listed by default to be scanned, it always just scans either 192.168.1.* or 2.* Any chance that can be addressed so any network can be scanned? Any defined? Or even an IP range?

i can add it to be able to scan any range, right now I meant it to have only those two. i'll make that change soon

You can use the following code to detect the IP addresses for local adapters and use those for the scans (to keep it configure-less):

https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/blob/master/MultiMiner.Utility/Net/LocalNetwork.cs#L20

just took a look at it, nice  8)

fixed a bug that caused no data to be displayed from an antminer that isn't reporting any fan speeds. (my new s2 doesn't show fan speed lol)

fixed bug having to do with showing fan(s) speed

DOWNLOAD: SAntViewer.zip v1.1.14 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/65lr5dgoado3lir/SAntViewer.zip?dl=0)

Thanks, again keep up the great work.

I have a S1 on 192.168.1.x subnet and Computer(192.168.2.x)Location of ant viewer and S3 on 192.2.1.x subnet. I can ping the 192.168.1.x but the miner shows up dead on the dashboard. ApI is on . Also if I view details all the information is there. Any ideas - Because I am about out. Thanks for any help in advance.   

I have over 250 S3+ and I want to change the first pool on each one.  Will this work or can I do this with a script. 

Logging in to each one at a time is taking forever.

Thanks

yea it should work. give it a try

works very well

Is this software still current/supported?

You could give a try to Minera if you need to monitor your Antminer, version 0.5.0 now supports them:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596620.0
http://getminera.com

Minera is only for Linux if I'm not mistaken, and I'm not a Linux user (yet).

Installed the last published version, talks to my S3+ just fine but reports my S1 as 'Dead'; probably because I've updated its cgminer to 4.9.1a.


I've since found and use cryptoGlance, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=569924.0, works great. :)

i sold off all my miners and got out of mining at the beginning of 2015.

thanks for checking it out though. good luck
