How Often do you Check Your Rigs?

[philipma1957]

most of the rigs are using smos.

I check  them  in the morning.

I check them before I go to bed.

Mining Rig in my bedroom - When it's hot it's Ok. When I feel it's getting cold while I'm sleeping - something is wrong

I'm using Windows. Control their rigs using team viewer 1-2 times a day. Reboots I have but due to the fact that there is a difference between day and night temperature I have to control the fan speed of the GPU. Night I reduce their speed to reduce wear. I have a few times a year there are cases of failure of the HSE who require mechanical of the reboot. For this is fixtures but I don't think profitable to buy them. They will not pay for.

I'm glad to see so many other people used to check their rigs alot early on, but then skip it when they get more experience.  I guess for beginners we worry more, but over time it will get better.

I notice someone say they use Flypool for notifications when workers stop hashing.  Do all pools offer this?  I use SimpleMining OS and Dwarfpool is the default.  Do they have the notification feature?  Or is something like Flypool recommended?

I generally never check them unless I get an email saying a rig is down. That's when the stress happens and I want to drop everything I am doing to go check. Unfortunately I did get that email today, and cannot wait to get home to check!!

I check mine once a day but that is a normal routine check and really isn't needed. My rigs powered up by MSI or GIGABYTE motherboards are running with latest Legacy Nicehash (not the new 2.xx.xx version) from months without restarting or stopping. They keep going without problems. Maybe because I have all processors of the rigs not Celerons or Dual Cores although they work, have min core i3 and up to i5 in each of the rigs I control (not all are mine).

I used to log every day using teamviewer to check for temps.

But I'm lazy, so I coded my own custom tool in order to monitor my rigs, check if they are online, show hashrates, show 24h profits per rig, temps, fans, send custom alerts ...
Since it's my tool, everything related to rigs is hardcoded (rig ip addresses, miners for each rig, alerts to send for each rig)
I have a dedicated screen in my office which displays 24/24 a single web page :

Works like a charm.

My wife checks her rigs 3x per day (once in person and twice via TeamViewer) and records all statistics, hashrate, algorithm, and power consumption (via metered pdu or wall meters). We keep all of this information every single day, partly for our own records, but mostly for tax purposes. If you guys aren't keeping records you're going to have a hell of a time when the IRS decides to audit you.  I guarantee that they are keeping an extra close eye on anyone reporting mining income and you need to you all of your expenses accounted for in detail or you're gonna get boned up the ass. 

*USA taxes, other countries may be more or less easy to deal with.*

I get telegram services sent to mine with stats so I never check them unless something seems off on my phone

[leonix007]

I just monitor them at the pool whenever I have the chance or online, I am looking primarily at their hash rate, when it goes offline it notifies me thru email, when somethings is not right like drop hashrate it is visually detected at the pool then I can go remote them for checking.

Periodically throughout the day...If I am on my phone, ill check. I used to check all the time, but now 3-4 times per day ill check the ethOS panel for downed GPUs. Sometimes less if I am busy.

If i Have a rig that i am troubleshooting, that is a different story.

[NobodyIsHome]

I check up on my 20+ rigs about twice a day, less if I'm busy with other things.  My goal is to eventually automate everything so that I only need to service them for upgrades or hardware failures since they are located at a warehouse.

One of them went down yesterday and came back up by itself during one of its scheduled reboots.  For more stubborn issues, I can VPN into one of my UPS devices, cut power to a PC and then wake-on-LAN/wake-on-PWR.  I can't do this with all of them right now, but it's getting there.

Hi All, how often do you check on your rigs?  I notice that I get anxiety when I check them -- as if I'm going to find some rigs down.  This has happened a couple of times. 

Other times, it has been smooth sailing. 

I find myself not wanting to check some times fearing I might see some bad news.

I'm wondering if anyone has a strategy for checking their rigs without it stressing you out.

Checking RIG in my opinion is a necessity because of the performance and how the RIG situation will affect the income we will get. If you are someone who has a job in a company I think installing remote access to RIG you have is the best way, you can monitor any time RIG you have from the office where you work. I am sure it will curate the anxiety you have. remote access is not able to show you the hardware you have, but you can always monitor how your RIG works and also whether or not running the mining process that you do. but if you are a person who does not have other work I think spend some time and keep optimizing the supporting components is the best thing, you can add some hardware and also always maintenance RIG you have, it can always clean and also make sure the hardware can work well .

Once a day, or if I get the worker offline email alert

[bigjee]

once every 12 hours or so.

I just save the url for my miner and check through chrome.

[Fredomago]

i checked it every 3 days just making sure that its still working properly and its not stopping or there's no problem with my connecting i use NH as
my mining apps so i just wait for my rigs to fill the minimum cash out and received it without having any issue.

I'm seriously considering switching from plain Ubuntu to SMOS, but first I'll make decent wooden frames for my 1060 rigs

[davemanet]

It looks like everyone either falls into "i barely check it" or "i check it often" haha.

[patofet]

I have a telegram boat to check this, and I see a couple times of day
