[wurzelsepp82]

Hi all,

is there any way to monitor a Antminer S1 via snmp/syslog.
im trying to get the temperature from the Unit.


Thx all

The cgminer API is currently best way to do this. Syslog capability is present, but is a little broken and useful more for debugging functionality.

I'm not sure that snmp is supported in any fashion.

[wurzelsepp82]

Any manual for that? Im a noob and dont know anything about API

The manual: https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/API-README

You're going to want coffee before reading that. 

There's also this thread which might help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412322.msg5724869#msg5724869

ok...for this i need more than 1 coffee!!!!

is there no other way to monitor ant´s temperature???

im running the units in a serverroom and cant watch them 24/7 ...

[faxfan2002]

You can use CGremote which gives an overview including temp (hooks into the API)

AFAIK, no.  Once you have API access enabled, you could use something like MobileMiner to check on your miners from anywhere.  Mine are in the garage...they usually run around 115-120°F.

You're aware there's a web UI? Temp data can be seen in the 'miner status' tab.

You're aware there's a web UI? Temp data can be seen in the 'miner status' tab.

But i dont want to open 7 Webinterfaces for checking temperature.
And i want to get notification if the temperature reaches a critical level.

you can use this service http://cgminermonitor.com/
and use this command in linux
socat TCP4-LISTEN:4028,fork TCP4:192.168.1.99:4028
because cgminermonitor can only access to cgminer that running in the same machine

[wurzelsepp82]

ok cgremote doing a good job but there is no notification system for temperature reaches critical level.
and really big problem is --> if temperature goes critical the ant should shutdown

nobody else have this problems?
nobody afraid of burning down your serverroom or house?

Very much so, and I fought with the S1's thermal management (or lack thereof) for quite a while. Then Kano released custom cgminer binaries for the S1 that actually allow for a user specified temp threshold after which the miner goes into a cooldown mode (with a lower hashrate).

You can find them here: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1

thx fot that, but i cant get it to run ...
cgminer doesnt start

[lowerjerzey]

I wrote this in java with Selenium. Only 11 lines. I can add a temp check so if it exceeds a certain temp, it will automatically ssh in and kill cgminer, sleep for a set amount of time to cooldown(I think once cgminer is killed the webpage won't have the temp so I can't monitor if it cooled down), soft link in an asic-freq with the min frequency, then reboot. I'll have to add JSCH so it can ssh in. I can slap a gui on it and add the ability to monitor multiple antminers. The cgminer API is clunky and requires cgminer config file modification which a lot of owners probably won't feel comfortable to mess with. Plus, after reading that enabling the api may have caused dead chips, I don't want to touch it.

[wolf_miner]

....... WHAT......?    enabling API may caused dead chips? Where you find this?

Complete bullshit until proven otherwise.

Not an unreasonable claim. I've gotten dead chips from simply rebooting. I've had to unplug the antminer and plug it back in to resolve them.

Hi, API are active on Antminer S1, infact if you connect to console ad run the command cgminer-api summary there is an answer like this

but is not allowed to call API from another computer else localhost (127.0.0.1) because in the configuration there aren't all necessary permission. So you need to enable the API for remote access. Someone suggest to edit /etc/config/cgminer. I do not know what solution is correct, but I think it is to edit /etc/init.d/cgminer because the etc/config/cgminer is written directly by Luci interface.

Use CGRemote - http://manotechnology.blogspot.cz/p/cgremote.html - it gives you all you need for mining.
Great SW for monitoring.

Go to S1 config  - /etc/config/cgminer
Set:
        option api-listen
        option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1,10.0.0.XX' 

 (10.0.0.XX) is IP of the computer where you want to monitor S1.
