Temperature log from cgminer in Antminer s5

[aknnig]

Hi.

I am running Antminer s5. It uses cgminer.

I wish to monitor the temperature as a function of time and am interested in either the temperature log file or the file containing the current temperature. Or a simple Linux command that gives me the current temperature.

I am inside the s5 through Linux so I can easily create the log myself, if I knew where the file with the current temperature is.

Any comments from you will be highly appreciated.

Best regards,
aknnig

Just pull the live temp value from cgminer's api;

Thanks for the useful tip VirosaGITS.

In more details for the other newbies. For Antminer s5, use

   cgminer-api -o stats

to get all status data. temp1 can then be extracted using for example

   cgminer-api -o stats | sed 's/,/\n/g' | grep 'temp1='

Thanks, i actually had a irl friend that does Android coding that was wondering how the API handling worked (he didnt have the time to do the research) and i just showed him the past, but i hadnt looked what command to send to cgminer though SSH to get the paste.

Its good to know, just for academic purposes too.

how do you even run s5s on cgminer? i'm curious as to how; I absolutely love seeing that bestshare and share accepted message.

you have to run it every time you start the s5 but here is a way you can keep a log..

on the s5 the only folder that has write access is /config

making a small script.. something like this.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo $(date) "| temp monitor started"  > /www/pages/temperature.txt
echo $(date) "| temp monitor started"  > /config/temperature.txt
while true
do
var_avg=$( cgminer-api stats | grep "^ *\[temp_avg]")
var_max=$( cgminer-api stats | grep "^ *\[temp_max]")
echo $(date) "| normal operation: " AVG $var_avg MAX $var_max >> /www/pages/temperature.txt
echo $(date) "| normal operation: " $var_avg $var_max >> /config/temperature.txt
sleep 60
done

save it as temp.sh in the /config folder

chmod +x

./temp.sh &

what this wil do is create a txt file in /config and one in www/pages
so you can view it www.IP/temperature.txt

when you restart the s5 you have to ssh in and run /config/temp.sh & again


feel free to modify it as you need.
