cgminer-monitor

Simple monitor script for cgminer in python.
Console display, http server, email alerts. No additional modules required.

Tested with python 2.7.2 and cgminer 3.2.0.

usage: cgminer-monitor.py [command] [parameter]

Monitor mode
cgminer-monitor.py
- Monitors cgminer by checking a few critical values
- Emails if something is wrong
- Restarts cgminer if the GPU is sick or dead
- Runs a dead simple http server that only serves a page with the results of the monitor (identical to the console output with a nice display)
- Monitors MMFCE pools and display the current balance in their currencies
- Could support multi-gpus very easily (see comment in the code)
- CTRL+C to stop everything

Command mode
cgminer-monitor.py somecommand someoptionalparameter
- Ouputs the results returned by cgminer miner and exits
- Examples:
    - cgminer-monitor.py summary
    - cgminer-monitor.py gpu 0
    - See cgminer's API-README for all available commands

Notes
I know there are a bunch of watchers, web interfaces and all but they are far too advanced for my light mining. I didn't want to have to run somone's .exe or have to compile it myself, or install apache/php, etc.
I just wanted the simplest thing so I made this single python script (about 200 lines without the comments) to do everything listed above. There is no install or anything, just set a couple of config values at the top and run it.

It only supports 1 GPU (because I've only one :/) but that should be as simple as adding a for loop and changing a couple of indexes to support multi gpus.

Updates

06/22/2013:
Monitors MMFCE pools + minor improvements

Monitors MMFCE pools and display the current balance in their currencies (web page only)
Display the current pool URL
Don't send a warning email in the first 10 seconds (hashrate takes a bit to get stable)
Use a smaller font for the web page
Ignore requests on /favicon.ico that most browsers send
Faster shutdown with CTRL+C (within 1 second)
