Suggestions wanted: MultiRig managment

[justananonminer]

I have acquired quite a few servers that I am using for CryptoNight over the last month. Some are on Windows still, but I am about to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTSR on about 8 machines, considering adding more.

I am using XMRig. Most of the machines are identical. (IE, I have 10 of one config, 8 of another). So I don't have to tweak the thread performance to much within XMRig.

I want to figure out a way to efficiently update pools and or wallet info on all of the machines at one time.

1. Update pool section of the config file
2. Stop miner process
3. Start miner process

I have looked into a couple Ubuntu management tools such as Landscape but I think they are too much for what I need, nor do I think they can do the job effectively.

I have also considered using something such as Dropbox or a script to grab a file from a local server to update the config - but how do I stop and restart the process on all of the machines simultaneously?

SSH could be a solution to this. But if I run everything through SSH, I can't easily monitor hash rates after the session is DC'd - so I need to look at using some sort of API to monitor everything, else I'm not going to notice a missing 1-5k hash rate from the pool at some point.

Any suggestions? Surely someone has don't something of the sort in the past.

if you are still on windows
you can use ethmonitor app from this site to update and monitor your miner from web
i am using it for past seven months and never faced any issues
even dev of this app is really nice and he will add features according to your requirement

I have 20 servers/ nodes running Ubuntu. I am open to a different OS, but prefer not to have windows. The performance hit is about 10% or so.

I am using exclusively Cryptonight (in this scenario). *IF* the bubble ever pops, I may invest in some GPUs and build two or three 8 GPU rigs. But for now, a 6 month ROI at today's rate which will inevitably change is arguably more risky than dumping that same amount of money into the market and trading coins.
