CgminerMonitor.com - cloud monitor for all your miners!

I must say you are very good observer! Great to have witty users! Thank you for detailed report - I'll try to fix that soon.
I'll add "Group miners for remote control" feature to TODO list.
Total Hash Rate graph is already on TODO list. Since you are not the first user who requested that - priority of that feature has been increased.

Since you mentioned TOTAL HASH RATE GRAPH is your priority,
I can give you some heads up and tell you whoever wants miner grouping (me too:))
will also want GROUP HASH RATE GRAPH too... So think about that when you are working on
the TOTAL HASH RATE GRAPH...

I don't know if you have feature request page, but you can do something like the guys from PiMP did:
http://www.getpimp.org/features.html

And finally - the subscription model is not a bad thing! So it is not SAD news!
This means you will get paid reimbursed for your hosting and all other operational costs.
Also time and effort you are putting into this should be rewarded. So don't feel bad about it.

One thing that I am nervous and even scared about when using "free" services is you don't get to complain
or require help/support about it (just like not voting and demonstrating). You rely strictly on the good will of whoever provides the service.
So having subscription is healthy both for you (altruism is good, but bread is essential necessity) and your
accounts (now customers). Just don't go overboard and keep it real.

Can the CgminerMonitor be installed directly on a antMiner S3??

[cgminermonitor]

jjjordan, such a list is a beautiful idea, thank you! I'll do it ASAP.

Can the CgminerMonitor be installed directly on a antMiner S3??

Unfortunetely AntMiner support is still under investigation. I have to look into that because many users asks about it.

Group feature request. Combine workers in groups with share group stats and applying features from remote control to group. Thanks.

[SoulCover]

oh, forgot to mention: it would be nice to have the possibility to export all the (raw) data to generate own reports in excel or so

Hello all!
Features page was just published. I figured out that it will be good to post all suggestions/features/bugs there.

Getting my first miner tonight (GAWFury) and will definitely use this

Feature Request:

Remote control  - Enable/Disable pool.

Cool! Let me know if you will manage to run CgminerMonitor on GAW miner!

Feature Request:

Remote control  - Enable/Disable pool.

Thanks, added to feature list.

I'm getting my RPi today. Whats the easiest way to install? I've read over the HOWTO...will that install directly onto the SD card or will I have to navigate around a bit more?

Also,

Can I run two instances of CGMiner on the Pi and monitor them both at the same time using this? I have one SHA miner and a Scrypt miner I have to run on separate instances I believe.

[jjjordan]

Possible bug:

Reported value of hashrate at CgminerStatistics per GPU (from graph)
is not the actual one reported by cgminer and the worker page (with "GUI" cgminer).

Example: one of my miners has 4x 7950 cards - each one does pretty steady 2.45Mh/s X15
(reported by both sgminer and CGminerMonitor worker page).
The graph reports 2.35 very consistently.

Suggestion: There might be some faulty conversion - x1024 instead of x1000 or vice versa?

Unfortunately, installing on RPi is the hardest one (but I think still easy) You should follow steps from http://cgminermonitor.com/GetStarted "Compile from source (e.g. Raspberry Pi)". Yes, it's install on SD card. Send me an email, if you will have any questions.

Sure, that would be no problem. Yes, you just have to run two separate instances - run them in different folders or set up different config name for each (as run parameters).

Thanks for reporting that, I understand that on worker page everything is correct, but on Cgminer Statistics page the value is a little lower than it should be? I'll look at that.

I've just checked that - it seems that it is how it looks on graph. You should have precise value of hash speed when you will move mouse over the graph.
Edit: Nope - there was faulty conversion. It will be fixed today.
Edit2: Fixed along with other reported small issues. See http://cgminermonitor.com/Changelog

Very well done sir...
I still experience wrong reported hash rate though.
My sgminer froze and reported 0.00 hashrate total and about 4Mh per card.
The reading at cgminermonitor.com though reported 16Mh (4 cards).
And that was for almost 24hours.
Here is the miner:
http://cgminermonitor.com/Shared/1cc33e209060493daa270d5ef9c317c01

The only way to "catch" dead miner in that scenario is to go to cgminer stats page
and look at all miner graphs and check for "flat" "Hash speed" and "Accepted" lines (see attached file).

Ok, now I understand. In my opinion that it's sgminer fault that it gives 4Mh report per card.
However, now I am working on advanced notifications, where you could set up an alert when accepted shares do not increase - this would solve this issue.

[jjjordan]

That would be awesome, thank you!
In order for remote control to be easy to use I have this idea:

Use pool names (if available) instead of actual pool addresses/ports
example:
pool1:  http://us-east01.miningrigrentals.com:3333
pool2:  http://us-east01.miningrigrentals.com:3333
pool3:  http://us-east01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 and so on...
and it's impossible to tell which one I should switch to because all algorithms use the same port at MRR.com

So then it will look like:
pool1: X11_Rig
pool1: X13_Rig
pool1: X15_Rig

Hi, I'm looking forward to trying out CgminerMonitor soon, but I do have one question. I am in the boonies with only a Verizon hotspot for wifi, which means a tight monthly data cap for all my internet. (Which is exactly as miserable as it sounds.) So I always have to check how much data something like this will be sending/receiving. Can anyone give me a rough estimate of hourly or daily bandwidth for just this software?

Depends how much devices you have on your miner. Mine miner with 7 GPUs sent roughly 500MB of data, receiving is not so much used. 500MB a month is around 700kB per hour - that's like visiting one "heavy" website. That amount is for pro account, where data is send on average every 25seconds. With free account that amount should be at least 5 times smaller.

Thanks! 100 MB/month I can handle. Now I just need my rig to crash so I can see an example of the email the monitor site generates, so I can configure gmail to forward it as a text to alert me.

Just to let you know guys, advanced notifications are now published Therefore currently available notifications are: 'miner is down', hash speed drop, overheating, fan issues, accepted shares stale, device status changed. Only the first one is for all users. The rest is for pro users.
