cgmon - mining monitor for Linux - auto restart, reboot, sick gpu, ASIC, &more

[jiangzuying]

This really is a great script! but 1 condition made me mad!

Cgmon will do nothing when it can't get data from cgminer-api, always cgminer is dead when it is starting, in this condition, cgmon will not take any action.

So could you add the feather that cgmon check the process of cgminer when it can't get the data from cgminer-api, maybe it needs some sleep time, then if there is the cgminer process and no api data, reboot the system.

Thank you!

ckopobapka, I decided to go for it and install it tonight. And it works!!!!  This is so awesome. Thank you!  You have made my day. 

Enjoy it! =)

I was trying to save the time of the delay is all.  Could you maybe make it an option that if BAMT = "yes" then call a different BAMT_reboot procedure that only has "reboot -f" or even "reboot -f -n"?  Sometimes reboot -f doesn't work and I have to use reboot -f -n.

Done.  In the latest version you'll see

Code:

#set conf(BAMT) "no"

at the bottom of the config options.
Uncomment and set to yes to use 'reboot -f -n' before trying other reboot options.

Awesome, thanks!

Hey jdape - thanks for this. Being a dev myself I started wanting to tinker with it right away. But, I don't know TCL.

Long story short I ended up re-implementing cgmon in JavaScript with node.js. I think it's pretty close now: node-cgmon.

Not sure if you know JavaScript but if you ever want to consolidate efforts, let me know.

FYI, I cited cgmon in the credits.

Cool.  Node.js is gaining momentum on the server side.  Good to see an effort to use it.

I could not convince bfgminer developer to provide JSONP interface straight from the API.  If we had JSONP straight from the API, it would solve cross-domain issues,
and you could write ONE web page to get the status(es) directly from the miner(s).  Parsing, formatting becomes trivial in JS.

For process monitoring, you still need to have cgmon like script to monitor the process itself.

what about using an option to get all parameters of cgminer/sgminer from a conf file?

I really like this option cause as a BAMT user, the script is breaking the Bamt options
 thanks

EDIT: RTFM!! thanks again for your nice script!

I get the following error:

Code:

Feb 24 03:19:34 bamt-miner - GPU 0 is sick or dead, rebooting...
 Status:             [Last Not Well] => 1393211512

Version Check:  You have 1.0.8, latest is 1.0.8.
cgmon is up to date.
error flushing "sock5": broken pipe
    while executing
"flush $sockid"
    (procedure "sendmail" line 48)
    invoked from within
"sendmail "[stamp] $hostname - GPU $i DEAD - Rebooting" "$hostname GPU
$i was dead or sick... rebooting.\n Status: $line"                      "
    (procedure "check_status" line 125)
    invoked from within
"check_status"
    (file "./cgmon.tcl" line 602)

This is the error I got when I executed the cgmon.tcl manually.

The script also didnt restart the bamt mining process... I had to restart it manually...

So I think there is somewhere a bug or a misconfiguration... :/

[aMasheep]

I've got no idea on how to turn it off? I am trying to stop it, but time after time it just starts the mining again... and when internet connection is lost, it doesn't do much.. (my wlan adapter sometime fucks up, and the system needs a reboot to work again)

thanks

What are your email settings like?  Could be an error there.   Try disabling email notifications.

If you want your computer to restart when there's a network issue, make sure 'reboot_when_pools_are_down' is set to yes in the config:

Code:

set conf(reboot_when_pools_are_down) "yes"

[ct1000ad]

When I used crontab, sgminer would sit there "waiting for work to be available from pools" for about 5 minutes before actually starting. When I started the script manually, it would immediately work.

I think the problem was that cron was running the script from a directory where the mining user didn't have any write permissions. When I changed the crontab to:

* * * * *   root     cd /home/ct1000ad/doge/cgmon && ./cgmon.tcl > /dev/null 2>&1

the problem disappeared.

Great scrypt, works like a charm out of the box  .

Miners are rebooting when they need to.

Is there a way so that I can use the cgmon-api.php not to show the info in just one line

Regards,

Michael

Glad it's working well for you.  Can you please explain your request in more detail?  Thanks

On this moment, when I open cgmon-api.php in a webbrowser, there is a long string of data that is difficult to read. I would like to put some <br> in there to organise that data, so that it's readable. However I am not a PHP man...lol. It would be nice not having to login via terminal all the time. Just a grafical layout.

Sorry about my English!!

Why would you ever open cgmon-api.php in a webbrowser?  That is only there to be used by cgmon.tcl.

[mdtspain]

oh ok...then it's better to move it back to it's location

Hello! Great scrypt! I have a question. I use Bamt/Smos and disable GPU0 (Integrated graphics) in bamt.conf and cgminer.conf but cgmon still check it and reboot because it Sick or Dead. How can i disable check for GPU0 in scrypt?

Hi,

You can disable checking of GPU 0 like this.

Find this line:

Code:

if {$gpu_status >1}  { 

below it add this new line:

Code:

if {$i == 0} {break}

[dr4g0n]

Thx for fast answer! Testing now.

[kinsik]

Could you please help solving the issue.
When the scrypt starts - cgminer waits for some time and than says smth like "waiting for work from pool" and in log it is written: "cgminer API is not enabled/responding". If I start cgminer manualy without cgmon it works fine.
What should I do to get things work? May be I have to open some port for api?
