Excellent service! I ve been using it for quite some time.
One thing though, one of my computers is not reporting hardware stats. Any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks! Any error messages? Maybe you are using linux? There is currently no hardware stats on linux machines. |

require the hosting itself to use this?
or simply fill in some data and direct connect?
No need to host anything on your machines. Simply run CgminerMonitorClient along with cgminer. More info here: http://cgminermonitor.com/GetStarted |

Hi i have a few i can test
leave it with me and i will have a go
Cool! How it's going? BTW. just published new worker details page (looks like kind of web interface for cgminer  ):  You can display worker details by clicking on worker name on dashboard or by visiting http://cgminermonitor.com/Settings/Workers page |

Hello coinme.info, I've just sent a request for info to Bitmain technologies, I'll get back to you with additional information from them.
Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing CgminerMonitor working on the Antminer S1! I've just received response, that Bitmain miners support cgminer API. Can you tell me if Antminer is visible under 127.0.0.1 or it has own IP address? In that case, I will introduce another config parameter and everything should be ok. Could you check that please? Unfortunately I don't have any Antminers... so I have no idea how it looks like. |

Thanks for the clarification. The website and client instructions were fairly clear, but I wanted to confirm how I was interpreting things. In my case I'm using 1 Raspberry Pi to manage 6 rigs - one Gridseed rig and 5 GAWMiner Fury rigs - so I'm running 6 instances of the client. When I do "ps -A | grep miner" I get this output: 1206 pts/0 00:00:05 cgminer01 1212 pts/1 00:00:03 cgminer01 1218 pts/2 00:00:03 cgminer01 1227 pts/3 00:00:03 cgminer01 1998 pts/5 00:00:26 cgminer-gridsee 2176 pts/7 00:00:29 CgminerMonitorC 2184 pts/9 00:00:28 CgminerMonitorC 2191 pts/10 00:00:28 CgminerMonitorC 2199 pts/11 00:00:28 CgminerMonitorC 2205 pts/12 00:00:30 CgminerMonitorC 2355 pts/6 00:00:27 CgminerMonitorC 2497 pts/13 00:00:01 cgminer01 The lines that say "cgminer01" is a version of cgminer for running the Furys, and the line that says "cgminer-gridsee" is of course the gridseed rig. So, what I need is to be able to differentiate which cgminer is for which rig when I'm using the cgminer start, stop and restart features. When the computer boots, the bash script I've created does this based on the config file name (each rig has a different config file, for instance cgminer-gridseed.conf). Can I do this in my config file for CgminerMonitor client? If so, how? Btw, I can live with the "WorkerRebootCmd" and "WorkerShutdownCmd" functions rebooting the computer and all six rigs... I just gotta remember that that's what it does.  Thanks for your help... Regards, Chris The best solution would be to change cgminer01 process name for each rig. You can just create multiple copies of cgminer with different name making the process name different. E.g. cgminer01, cgminer02, cgminer03 which would be run by your scripts. Then just specify appropriate name in CgminerMonitorClient config (or change CgminerProcessName and CgminerKillCmd parameters). Btw, there's one other remote control feature that would be very handy... resetting the statistics for a miner. Sometimes, when there's a problem with a rig I tinker with various settings and then I reset the stats by hitting "D" and then "Z" to see if the changes have effected anything. Sure, I could stop/restart the rig and the stats would reset, but that interrupts the mining for a minute or two so just resetting the stats is quicker/easier.
Can that feature be added in a future release?
Thanks!
Chris
As far as I can see on this site: https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/API-READMECgminer doesn't allow to do that by API... Therefore I am afraid I can't deliver that feature for you. |

A couple of questions about setting up for remote control...
1. How do you determine the value for "CgminerProcessName" in the config file? I've tried various combinations of ps and can't find a process name.
In windows this will probably be cgminer.exe/sgminer.exe/something.exe (you can use task manager to determine that). Under linux, use or You can filter that using grep. For example: . The result should be something like: cgminer/sgminer/vertminer2. Am I right in assuming that "CgminerStartCmd" is the full command line (including "screen -dmS" and any command line switches to run cgminer?
Yes, the client only executes that, and checks 15 seconds afterwards if the process was started. 3. "WorkerRebootCmd" and "WorkerShutdownCmd" look like they reboot/shutdown the computer so if you're controlling more than 1 rig on that computer it's going to reboot/shutdown everything. Right?
The idea is that one CgminerMonitorClient is monitoring one rig/worker. Therefore sending that command to one worker will result in reboot/shutting down only this computer. Under http://cgminermonitor.com/WorkerRemoteControl/Manage you can choose to send command to one or more workers. Thanks for your help. I've kinda-sort-maybe got it configured right but this will get me the rest of the way.
No problem, do you have any idea how to improve the website or client instructions, to make it more unambiguous? |

Btw, I gotta say it...
The support I've received for CgminerMonitor has been excellent so far! I'm low-income so I can't afford much, but I'm sending a little bitcoin token of my appreciation.
Thanks, again!
Chris
Thank you very much Chris! Those are the first coins for this project It's really awesome that some appreciate your work! |

I just finished getting CgminerMonitor running on my Raspberry Pi that's controlling 3 gridseeds and 5 GAWMiners furys. Looks great, although there is a display problem with the chart for CrazyCanuck Rig #2A for some reason: http://tinyurl.com/CrazyCanuckAny ideas how to fix that minor glitch? Thanks! Chris Chris, thanks for reporting that! I'll fix that as soon as remote management will be published. |

I would like to get this running on my raspberry pi running minepeon. Can you please tell me what steps i have to take to get this installed on minepeon?
Running CgminerMonitor on MinePeon isn't hard - in fact, there is already someone who made this. Instructions are here: http://cgminermonitor.com/GetStarted - find "Install HOWTO" section and click "Compile from source (e.g. Raspberry Pi)" tab. Please let me know if you will meet any problems. PS. coinme.info, so far - no response from Bitmain tech. |

Hey darkesperx, Thanks for thumbs up! I am really glad you like it! I haven't posted any donation address because in future I want to introduce paid features, therefore people could feel cheated. However, if you still want to donate, here is the BTC address: 1HDC1qfjTiM2Ef3kMjivRFXyLbjmatZHtB. Many thanks in advance |

No problem, I'm glad we got it working |

Chris, I've installed your Ubuntu version on VM and after installing curl (with sudo apt-get install curl) CgminerMonitorClient works perfectly fine. However, I might know what is going on. After running curl --version I get information that I have curl 7.22.0 with libcurl 7.22.0. Googling around I got information that curl and libcurl should have the same version. In your case curl version is 7.34.0 and libcurl is 7.22.0. Some people reported, that curl in this situation won't work at all. Could you try running curl --url https://bitcointalk.org to confirm this? Here is the thread which I found helpful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11678085/curl-48-an-unknown-option-was-passed-in-to-libcurlPersonally, I would try apt-get --reinstall install curl solution. |

No problem Chris. Thanks for detailed information. I'll install your linux and try to run the client. However, because now I am away from the computer, you can expect the response after two days. Sorry for long waiting time...

That previous post was using the "-t" parameter to see what's going on. Tried running it with "-c" and it didn't work, so I ran it with "-c -v" and got this: 05/23/2014 09:21:40.72 Making 4st/nd/th request.

Still no joy.  Regards, Chris Almost there! Can you tell me what is your environment? Which linux do you use + which libcurl version do you have (run curl --version in terminal)? |

POST request made with curl also failed? There are some rare cases, when people get timeouts when making POST request through Mono (it's a known bug, but I haven't found any solutions). However, you should be able to use workaround - make POST requests with curl. Just run the client with -c flag.

That's a nice pragram to keep track of all your cgminers running.
I will download and give it a try.
But how many cgminers can it trak at the same time?
One CgminerMonitorClient can track one cgminer, running on local machine. If we are talking per account limit, it is set to 100 workers (at this point there arise problems with web browsers responsibility). Globally there is no limit. Then the whole thing repeats itself. Thanks for your help! I'm sure I'm just doing something dumb/newbie. Regards, Chris Thanks for more information. It seems that your client can get information from cgminer, however you cannot send those stats to our server. Let me quote FAQ: Please run the client with -v flag (verbose) - it will print more information what's happening. You can also check connectivity with us using -t flag (troubleshooter). At the end, try running the client with -c flag (use curl for sending data). |

I'd really like to get CgminerMonitor going but when I run the client on my system I get these error messages: 'StatHardware' worker is not available on UNIX platform.
'StatHardware' worker is not available.
Can you tell me what's causing this and how to fix it, please? Thanks! Regards, Chris Hello Chris, that shouldn't interfere with normal CgminerMonitor usage. All what this means is that your machine won't send hardware statistics, like CPU/Memory/Disc usage (it is hard to collect that data on UNIX/Linux OS). Cgminer monitoring is different thing and should be working fine. You should get email notifications as well as cgminer statistics (hash rate, GPU temperatures/fan speed, etc.). When will your nxt update be ready
Miner controle
Around the end of the next week Cool do you have a list of thing that it will be able to do ? pjcltd, I have bad and good news. Bad news is that there will be one week delay in next update. Sorry for that... However, the good news is that I have full list of planned features: - remotely manage worker: reboot and shutdown
- remotely manage cgminer process: start, stop, restart
- read/write cgminer config
- remotely manage cgminer: add pool, delete pool, change pool
- to keep your miners secure, all control features MUST be enabled on worker.
I keep in mind your request about sending commands to multiple workers at once as well as pool monitoring, however I am not sure if/how this will be possible. What do you think? |
