Today Awesome Miner is not saving the profit information from these coin statistics sources, it only uses the API's provided by them to get current profit (configurable to 24h actual profit in the next release).
Yes, I'm aware that this data was only a current statistic. We had talked about this a few weeks ago where I made the suggestion to have a small database, caching this information to have AM build it's own moving average for display and use in the logic of profit-switching, if the user chooses that method. I only brought it up again, because I want people to understand what these figures represent. I think a 24 hour or longer moving average would be a really neat feature to have, and I'm eager to play with it to see if my theories hold true in real life. I had also emailed you a few months ago about something similar for the temperatures and hashrate graphs on the Dashboard tab, if they or other statistics were cached in a database for analysis, probably in a small database. You mentioned that AM wasn't doing this currently, which is fine. I realize adding a database of some of these values might be a significant feature to add, but it might be good to expose some of this data to the user to make some deeper analysis of their miners if they choose to do so. I think it would be a cool feature to add that would make Awesome Miner stand out, especially for your larger miner customers who have the bandwidth to do this kind of analysis (or us number nerds!) And of course, I would expect this feature to only be available in a higher cost edition of AM. No pressure from me... I'm just trying to help with some ideas on how to make AM better, and more effective for users. There's already a ton of features I haven't gotten around to testing like the the Profit Factors like you mention below. In the future it should probably be some improvement to the Performance history feature that is quite limited today. I fully agree that the amount of information Awesome Miner should be able to collect is large, and that very interesting analysis could be applied to this data. These ideas makes perfect sense. I've also been thinking about if this entire deep analysis field could be another kind of application, possibly developed by someone else, in the future. Awesome Miner do provide API's that can be used to extract a lot of information. An external application could collect a lot of data based on that and do more advanced analysis and processing on it. If you only select Nicehash, Zpool and MPH for the profit switcher, then the information from WhatToMine and Coins tab isn't used. However, if you add a custom pool or pools, it may be a single coin pool for Dash or Signatum. For these single coin pools, the profit information from WhatToMine is used - which is also what you see on the Coins tab. If for example Signatum is more profitable than what Nicehash and the others have, the profit switcher will go for Signatum. So the profit switcher is already comparing single coin pools (WhatToMine statistics) with the multipools (Nicehash, ... statistics).
For a given Profit switching profile, you can compare the Profit values in the Coins tab and the Online services tab.
That's what I assumed was going on under the hood, but I'm glad you clarified it here. I think the more exposure the user has to some of the logic or where AM is using what statistics where is helpful to the user to understand how to setup AM so that it works for their situation. It's already very very flexible in many different scenarios, but that flexibility comes at a learning curve cost for the end user. Would it be possible to add the Whattomine statistics to the Online Services tab? If I'm reading your quote above correctly, AM will use both tabs for profit switching if I had selected the NH and custom pool profit, but it might be confusing to the user how AM uses those two tabs differently. Or at the very least some labels on the tabs (Coins and Online Services) so that the user understands how those two sets of data are used by AM. I have been getting requests about combining the tabs for Coins and Online services. From a profit presentation point of view, it makes sense to combine them, because that's exactly what the profit switcher is doing. If you have Signatum on top at $12 on the Coins tab and Nicehash X11 on top at $11 on the Online services tab, the profit switcher will go for Signatum - if you have that as a custom pool to the profit switcher. So from a profit number point of view, combining makes sense. Then we have the other aspect, and that is what kind of information to present about individual coins and about pools like Nicehash. For coins you have much more data and exchange rates and so on, and also the option to edit the coin properties. Combining this together with something like Nicehash could look strange. I'm not saying that these two tabs will be separate for all future, just that there are both benefints and drawbacks with both solutions. |

Hi, using AM for a Baikal farm, but if I change pool from within AM, the algorithm always jumps to X11, regardless of the coin, making it useless. Is there a solution for it, to configure the algorithm too for baikal, as the pool change is working, but only invalid shares occur.
So there is no solution for Baikal mines to change pool via AM?
Hi, The are a number of users running Baikal miners with Awesome Miner, and from a monitoring point of view it works great. However, the pool change operation in combination with a change of algorithm is for sure an issue. Baikal miners uses an older version of sgminer, and it looks like that interface doesn't support change of algorithms. I had one users that recently tried to contact Baikal about this to see if they could do anything about it - but I don't have any updates on it right now. From an Awesome Miner point of view I can unfortunately not do anything about this situation, as Awesome Miner is using the cgminer and sgminer interface standards (API), and it doesn't look like the Baikal miners fully support that. |

Patrike,
I seem to be having a problem or found a problem ... !
I've set up a miner as shown above, it's a Managed Profit Miner.
For the life of me I can not find the setting to make this miner work in Dual mode mining. Where is the option to enable / disable Dual mode mining for this type of miner ?
I can get one of my rigs to work in Dual mode (both setup the same way), but the other rig fails to work, it either mines from Claymore in single mode or mines with EWBF, with the EWBF disabled. The only way I could fix this was to port over the config file from the other rig.
The Managed Profit Miner cannot be configured for Dual Mining - it should happen automatically if Dual Mining is considered profitable. Can you check your Dual Mining hashrates for your Profit profile? Do you have both Ethereum and Decred/Sia/Pascal pools made available for the profit switcher? If you click the "View details" button on the miner, or in the latest release, right click and select "View process details", can you see both Ethereum and dual algorithms in the list? Device Profiles.
I see one default profile --- AMD X-algorithm.
Why no default NVidia X-algorithm as well ?
Is it possible to add a new feature.
View edit the AMD and NVidia Profiles that come built-in.
These included Device Profiles are for Sgminer only that requires some special configuration for the mining to more or less work at all. Sgminer is for AMD only. For Claymore Ethereum mining you can also define device profiles (both for AMD and nVidia), but there are not really any general settings that everyone must have for the Claymore miners. Instead, it's more per system adjustments, making it less relevant to include good defaults in Awesome Miner. |

I personally feel it's better to look at a coin's average... maybe 24 hours is a good indicator, but I prefer longer averages to the tune of 3 days to a week. You will get much more consistent profits by mining a coin that stays popular at #3 all week than trying to chase coins that tank before you can see the profits. It's kind of counter-intuitive. I'm hoping Patrike can add some more customization in determining the parameters on how the profit switching works. Whattomine.com already has parameters to look at 24 hour, 2 day, and 3 day averages.
I started looking into this a little while ago when it was discussed last time, and I found a way to support 24h avg statistics for Nicehash, zpool and WhatToMine - but not for Mining Pool Hub. I will go ahead and make the implementation for these sources that supports it, because it's only a small implementation. I will add a new settings in the Options dialog (probably in the Statistics sub section for Coins&Profit) where you can select between "Current" and "24h average". This will be used for the information you see on the Coins tab, the Online Services tab and for the profit switcher. You are correct that WhatToMine is very flexible here, but the other sources are not. Yes, the only way you could do it with MPH is to have AM keep it's own running average every time it checks WTM or Coinwarz. Which kind of lends itself to a couple of questions I've had. When using profit switching, AM is strictly relying on what NH, MPH, and ZPool say is the most profitable, correct? the Coins tab data is really just there for convenience? Is there a way to match what WTM says is "most profitable" to one of the profit-switching services? Or does that happen only when you use a custom pool grouping with a managed profit miner? Another question I have deals with the hashrates defined in the Algorithms or Profit Profiles. When we manually put in the hashrates or use the really awesome new benchmarking feature... should the rates defined there be a single card or the entire rig? Does AM extrapolate that I have 6 cards and use the multiple rate when determining if switching to a different algorithm should be done? Today Awesome Miner is not saving the profit information from these coin statistics sources, it only uses the API's provided by them to get current profit (configurable to 24h actual profit in the next release). If you only select Nicehash, Zpool and MPH for the profit switcher, then the information from WhatToMine and Coins tab isn't used. However, if you add a custom pool or pools, it may be a single coin pool for Dash or Signatum. For these single coin pools, the profit information from WhatToMine is used - which is also what you see on the Coins tab. If for example Signatum is more profitable than what Nicehash and the others have, the profit switcher will go for Signatum. So the profit switcher is already comparing single coin pools (WhatToMine statistics) with the multipools (Nicehash, ... statistics). For a given Profit switching profile, you can compare the Profit values in the Coins tab and the Online services tab. What you can do if you don't like Nicehash except when it's super-profitable is to define a lower "Profit factor" in the Options dialog, Online servies section. For each pool from Nicehash, zpool and MPH, you can specify for example 80% Profit factor. That will make it look less profitable for Awesome Miner, but if it becomes much more profitable than a single coin, the profit switcher would still use it. The hashrates should be for a single card. I just answered a similar question moments ago, where you will find a more complete answer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.msg21466835#msg21466835 |

Hello everybody,
I hope it can help me, I have antminer run on nicehash, is there a possibility to display the profit? ( i have the Premium License)
many thanks for your help
Hi, In order for Awesome Miner to display coin and profit information, it must know which coin you are mining. If you mine on Nicehash, you need set the coin for the pool in Awesome Miner to "Unspecified SHA-256". Awesome Miner will then understand that it's not specific known coin you are mining, but will instead look at the pool URL and see that it's Nicehash and show the profit for Nicehash SHA-256. Selec the Antminer in the main window of Awesome Miner. Select the Pools tab in the lower part of the screen to view the list of pools. Select the Nicehash pool, click "Define coin" and set "Unspecified SHA-256". |

Are the following miners going to be supported?
BW L21
Innosilicon A5
M1 BTC Miner
In general, Awesome Miner works fine with all standard compliant miners. Almost all popular ASIC miners do provide a Cgminer compatible API, making it possible to manage and monitor them from Awesome Miner. I actually don't know about the support for those you list - maybe you can try? You can download and use the free version of Awesome Miner from the web site. |
|
|
|
I see UBQ and SIGT coins in the Balance area (under Options) but anyone have working blockchain explorer API URLs for these two since these are not pre-filled in Awesome Miner like they are repopulated for ETH, ZEC, and others?
All coins are unfortunately not supported, because Awesome Miner requires a Block Explorer that provides an API in order to get this kind of information. If I'm able to find one, I can of course add support for more coins. A large number of coins are supported via this Block Explorer, but not those you list: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ |

So, for benchmarking, I select my GPU0, do the full list, and then do it again for GPU1? They are identical 1070s... just curious.
Thanks again for the software! Outstanding.
If the GPU's are identical you only need to benchmark one single GPU. You will then save the hashrates to a Profit Profile. For the profit switcher, this is good enough, because it will make the same decisions on a computer no matter if you have one nVidia GTX 1070 or six nVidia GTX 1070. If Equihash is most profitable for 1070, it doesn't matter how many 1070 you have, it's still the most profitable algorithm. In general, the best pracise is to specify all the hashrates for a single GPU. Then you have the concept of Profit Profile Groups, also configured in Options dialog, Profit profile section. These groups are simply pointing to one or multiple Profit profiles, and specifies the total number of GPU's. They are requires in two scenarios: 1) You want to display the profit on the Coins tab or Online Services tab for a complete system instead of just profit per GPU. 2) You have a mix of GPU types, for example two nVidia 1060 and three nVidai 1080. In the Profile Groups you can specify this information in order for the profit switcher to make the correct decision. |

I tried to use Claymore V 10 but it run claymore V9.8. How to fix it ?
Are you using the latest Awesome Miner v3.2.8 (both the main application and Remote Agent)? That one should include Claymore Ethereum Miner 10.0. If the automatic download failed it may be beacuse of security software preventing it. |

Hi All, I'm switching from SimpleMining to Awesome Miner and am excited. I have some questions for anyone familiar with both.
1. In SimpleMining, I did alot of custom core/memory overclock. Can I use similar settings or do I have to test each card settings all over again?
I'm pretty sure you can use the Afterburner server integration in Awesome miner to do a lot of this. I tend to just find a happy medium on the rig, and go with that in Afterburner. It keeps the rig more stable if you don't push the cards to the extreme ends. 2. In SimpleMining I lowered Power Stage to get lower watts and it was easy just slide down bar. What area of Awesome Miner can I do the same?
There's a lot more controls for GPU adjustments in the Premium version of AM. I don't have that version, so I haven't had a chance to play with it, but yes, there are tons of controls, rules, templates and more that you can tweak on GPUs in AM. 3. Do you recommend Managed Miner or Managed Profit Miner?
You can setup both for each rig. I setup a regular Managed Miner when I just want to focus on a single coin. I setup templates to make it easy and fast to change coins manually. The Managed Profit Miner is strictly to use the profit switching feature in AM. I experiment with them from time to time, but it seems I always keep coming back to mining a single coin. One thing I do like to do with the Managed Profit Miners is put them on Mining Pool Hub profit switching, but turn off the auto-conversion of the coins on MPH's web page. That way I accumulate a good collection of various coins that tend to be profitable from time to time, and can then decide when to manually cash them in at an exchange. I agree with what puwaha stated above. I just have a question about "Power Stage". Awesome Miner uses MSI Afterburner to control GPU clocking and similar. There is a GPU setting called "Power Limit" where you by default have 100%, but you can lower this one to make the GPU consume less power (and it will limit performance i little bit). Is that what the "Power Stage" is doing? Awesome Miner let you configure the Power Limit, together with GPU clock, fan speed and more. The exact parameters will depend on what kind of GPU you are using. You can find more information here: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/gpuclocking.aspxI also recommend a Managed Miner, and then use templates to switch between a few predefined configurations: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/managedtemplate.aspx |

Patrike,
Is there a problem with zpool.ca ?
I can't seem to connect to the website and Awesome Miner will not connect to the servers either !
I've never tried to connect to Zpool before, so I could be doing something wrong setup wise.
Feedback / info on setup would be great.
Thanks.
There are some major issues with Zpool today. Their site worked when I tried it right now, but earlier it didn't respond to API calls and the site wasn't working. |

Error
DMD does not belong to groestl. It has a dmd-gr algorithm. Because of this, there are errors in the extraction!
You are correct that for example Ccminer has dmd-gr in addition to the groestl algorithm. What makes me a bit confused is that WhatToMine, Coinwarz and the FAQ of the Diamond coin states that it's simply Groestl. If WhatToMine would have reported this as another algorithm, Awesome Miner could for sure map this to another command line parameter. Now it's getting a bit difficult, because if the above is true, Groestl could require different parameters depending on coin, which would be totally confusing. Is there anyone else that has a good answer on this? I mine Diamond on Awesome Miner with no issue. I just put the "-a dmd-gr" option on the command line parameters on my managed template for Diamond. OH.... I just checked... you can't mine Diamond on pools anymore. They are preparing to change over to pure POS, so all the pools are closing, and you can only solo mine until September 12th. Thanks for your feedback on this. It's good that you have a manual workaround, but it would be even better if Awesome Miner could handle this for you. Right now it's a bit difficult as Diamond is just another Groestl algorithm according to all coin statistics sources including WhatToMine. From the Diamond coin FAQ it also sounds like it should be standard Groestl: A: groestl is a algo not developed for cryptocoins but as a general purpose security algorythm same as SHA256 (bitcoin algo)
myriadcoin & groestlcoin where the first which used this great algorythm for a crypto currency
and diamond will take a similar approach of implementation so grs able miningsoftware will be able mine dmd too
compared to scrypt it have less power useage and heat production on most GPU even below x11Maybe the fact that it will be POS solves the problem for Awesome Miner, as it doesn't have to be supported anymore?  |

So this part applies, partially: Profit switching - Bitcoin address per miner
The pools used for the profit switching feature are configured in the Options dialog, Profit switching section. For the built-in pools like Nicehash, there is only a single field to enter the Bitcoin address to mine to. This address will be used for all Managed Profit Miners.
To set unique Bitcoin addresses per Managed Profit Miner, the Bitcoin address field can be set to - (a dash). Each Managed Profit Miner must now specify a Bitcoin address in the Add to worker name setting. However this only works for MiningPoolHub. On the managed profit miner properties, there is no field for nicehash/zpool btc address. So my add to worker field has [mph username].[worker name] and that's it. To be more succinct: using a Managed Profit Miner, and when specifying '-' in the fields for Options -> Profit Switching -> Managed Profit Switching, I can only either use a zpool/nicehash btc address, by specifying that address in Managed Profit Miner Properties -> Mining Pool -> 'add to worker name', or I can use a miningPoolHub account by specifying [mph username].[worker name]. I cannot do both, and I would like to be able to so that I can have different sets of nicehash/zpool/MPH addresses/usernames across different managed profit miners. Hi again, This will be released in a little while, where you can override the global settings for Nicehash / Zpool / MPH per Managed Profit Miner. Can you please test the feature and give feedback?  |

Maybe an idea for future updates. Some statistics and sums for Balance column?
Sometimes i get (Update failed) for BTC balance is it normal?
Thanks for your suggestion. I think the current Block Explorer interface is preventing requests if they are made too frequently. And if you have multiple bitcoin wallet addresses to monitor, it will be multiple requests. I will try to find a better block explorer site that allow for more frequent requests. |

Thanks for the feedback.
For MSI Afterburner, do you have UAC enabled in Windows (you should)? When you make changes to the MSI Afterburner settings in the Options dialog, the log file for Awesome Miner should indicate what's going on if you search for "Setting MSI Remote Server path". Please note that this is the log file for the remote system, that you find on the right-click menu on the Remote Agent icon. You can also open Windows Task Scheduler and look for "MsiRemoteServer" that should be added by Awesome Miner. This is the only way of auto-starting software with Administrator privileges.
Dual mining was only saved if another change was made as well. I've corrected that now
Are you running 3.2 or the latest development version 3.2.7? The latest versions has more corrections to the profit switcher.
Can you get CPUMiner to start if you manually setup the command line without Awesome Miner? You can see the parameters Awesome Miner use when you click the Diagnostics button. Awesome Miner uses the core-avx2 version of CPUMiner by default, which is supported by most common CPU's.
The scenario with a Managed Miner with a single Ethereum pool sounds a bit strange. Can you send me an API report for that scenario (Tools -> API Report).
Not an issue, I really like the software it's pretty damned snazzy and I am running the latest version at 3.2.7. I have UAC set to not notify me and I do see the proper path in the log file for the location and the proper account is called out to run it. I think the issue is I am using the profit miner configs instead of managed miners. I don't see an option in the Profit miners for a "GPU clocking profile", so I assume it won't launch the app? The CPU miner appears to not have any path set like I have seen with the other diagnostic returns. ( https://pastebin.com/dkHhJuV5) I had to switch to core2 for stability but this command line works. cpuminer-core2.exe -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20486 --algo=groestl -u username.cpu -p x I am trying to replicate the issue with the managed miner on another machine. Thanks for the updates! Setting UAC to not notify you is the same as setting it to not elevate privileges I think? Have you tried to enable UAC instead? You can also select a miner (doesn't have to be running) and select the System tab, and then click "GPU settings". This will launch MSI Afterburner, if everything is working as it should. The setting to set GPU clocking per miner is currently only available on Managed Miners, not Managed Profit Miner, but the idea is to suport both in the future. From your diagnostics log, you can see that Awesome Miner is trying to use "cpuminer-core-avx2.exe". When using Auto-download, this is what Awesome Miner will use. You can configure the Managed Miner to use use your specified path instead, and then you can point to "cpuminer-core2.exe" instead. |

I just started using this software to manage my miners. I switched out from using Ethos to this. One of the biggest issues I have with this software so far is that when it detects a failed miner it just gives up on trying to restart the miner and then the miner just sits there. There should be an option to restart the miner regardless of how many failures there are. I am constantly having to go in and restart the miners when the issue was a miner software crash with one particular miner software. This is the number one detractor from the software and is what will prevent people from using it full scale. I can manage this in alternative ways (power monitor resetting the computer) but then I have other issues because the services are not starting. - Doesn't start the MSI After Burner Remote Server when restarting the machine
- Manager gives up trying to start the miner if there are several errors in a row.
- Fails to apply the GPU overclock profiles on restart or relaunch of Afterburner software
By default Awesome Miner tries to restart a process three times. If it fails three times within a short period of times, Awesome Miner actually gives up. If the mining software has been running for a few minutes, it will reset this counter and you will have another three times of restart available. If you want to take further actions after three times, you can use the Rules (Options dialog, Rules section) for that. You have a trigger "Process failure" that will be triggered in this scenario. You can define define your actions - maybe to give you a notification and then try to start the miner again. The MSI Afterburner Remote Server is a bit difficult to auto start because it requires Admin permissions and doesn't have any built-in concept for that. Awesome Miner can however setup this for you, so have you followed these steps? Please share more details on this if you already have and it isn't working. http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/gpuclocking.aspxI'm not sure I fully understand the scenario with a restarted MSI Afterburner. If you simply restart that software (close it, then start it), how would that affect the GPU Clocking profiles? Sorry if I missed the point here. Thank you for your reply, it's awesome to know the dev is in the forum answering posts. The rules option should handle the issue I am having with the miner stopping and not starting again. Thanks for pointing that out, I added a rule this morning and it appears to be doing the trick. I did follow the MSI guide on setting up the account and putting the files in the same location on the miners and it appears to not work according to the settings. I noticed that the MSI remote server also doesn't start when added to the start menu or run under HKCU or HKLM either on any of the machines. No errors appear on the server regarding a failure to launch and manually launching it works as expected. As for the GPU settings, I was using the profit miner setup which doesn't have the GPU functionality built into it so it's not applying the profiles. To work around this, I selected a safe overclock inside of MSI. The issue with MSI is more when the application never starts and I need to start it after the fact. When I manually start it after the fact, I have to manually apply the overclock since there is no GPU functionality. If this was added to the profit miner option that would resolve the issue since it's applied at restart and stop. I found these additional issues while continuing to setup and work with this. - Dual mining wattage option not saved when exiting options under algorithms, it does save properly under the profit switching profile.
- Profit Miner won't switch to new coin if it missed the "window" to switch. Forcing a restart on the miner does not cause it to switch to the new coin if a miner has already selected an algorithm (https://puu.sh/xo9HM/c3642b5b28.PNG) and the the profit switching subsequently changed to a higher paying coin. The miner that has selected the algorithm will not switch to the higher paying coin until the time limit has expired to switch once again even if restarting the service. The existing new coin data should be pushed out to the miner.
- Miners crash and hang and the remote service cannot see this issue. To correct this issue I turned off the Dialog box for Windows Error Reporting, this causes the miner software "ok error box to never appear and the miner application just exits. This may be something to add into the functionality, an option to identify the OK dialog or information on how to eliminate the Dialog box via the registry.
- Command line miner CPUMiner-opt 3.4.6 exits out indicating "algo_gate registration failed, unknown algo". I attempted to add an algo option and this did not resolve the issue.
- Managed Miner dual mode is set to disabled; however, the miner has ignored that setting and is mining a secondary coin even despite the fact I only have a single pool/coin selected.
Thanks for the feedback. For MSI Afterburner, do you have UAC enabled in Windows (you should)? When you make changes to the MSI Afterburner settings in the Options dialog, the log file for Awesome Miner should indicate what's going on if you search for "Setting MSI Remote Server path". Please note that this is the log file for the remote system, that you find on the right-click menu on the Remote Agent icon. You can also open Windows Task Scheduler and look for "MsiRemoteServer" that should be added by Awesome Miner. This is the only way of auto-starting software with Administrator privileges. Dual mining was only saved if another change was made as well. I've corrected that now Are you running 3.2 or the latest development version 3.2.7? The latest versions has more corrections to the profit switcher. Can you get CPUMiner to start if you manually setup the command line without Awesome Miner? You can see the parameters Awesome Miner use when you click the Diagnostics button. Awesome Miner uses the core-avx2 version of CPUMiner by default, which is supported by most common CPU's. The scenario with a Managed Miner with a single Ethereum pool sounds a bit strange. Can you send me an API report for that scenario (Tools -> API Report). |

Error
DMD does not belong to groestl. It has a dmd-gr algorithm. Because of this, there are errors in the extraction!
You are correct that for example Ccminer has dmd-gr in addition to the groestl algorithm. What makes me a bit confused is that WhatToMine, Coinwarz and the FAQ of the Diamond coin states that it's simply Groestl. If WhatToMine would have reported this as another algorithm, Awesome Miner could for sure map this to another command line parameter. Now it's getting a bit difficult, because if the above is true, Groestl could require different parameters depending on coin, which would be totally confusing. Is there anyone else that has a good answer on this? |

please help me the miner dosent star by the automatic profitswitching option......the only way to get the pool is over the commandline.....for claymor eth miner it works....but for the claymor monero miner he dosent work......he is connected but there only job timeouts....how can i fixed this ?
Do you get the timeouts with the built-in Nicehash / Zpool / Mining Pool Hub pools? Can you try the Diagnostics button to see if the mining software is giving any more details? If not, please send me your log file (Tools -> Log file). |
