M's Miner (Ant/SP) Monitor v5.2: alerts,auto/mass/scheduled reboot/mobile miner

[mstrongbow]

The S2 has a different ID\PW combo for SSH. That's probably why it is failing.

Which the app asks for. Its not actually failing. Its logging in just fine. But it doesn't display the data or status in the Ants tab. The log shows it responds just fine. Its something else. The login was definable.

But the app only asks for it in 1 spot. In the screen shot the S1's seem to be updating fine. How would you go about specifying a separate password for S2's?

That last screenshot posted was mine

FYI ANT Monitor is detected on an S2, but does not display data in the stats console. But the logs show its responding. Any thoughts?

I dont think this app has been custom designed to deal with the S2's yet.

Right I got that, I was really just asking if there are any files on the linux side that could be symlinked or created. OR what would need to be done to make it work. I guess I could look at the code when I get a chance. I was just looking for a quick response from the dev.

It parses the output of the web page(s).  S2 support isn't there yet.  Coming soon, though.

If you ever think of buying an S2 and need a coupon, let me know, I have a spare.

Thanks.  I have a S2 now.  I just need the time to make the changes.

Here's that screenshot...

Thanks.  That's not how it looks for me.  Something went terribly wrong.

If you are comfortable editing the registry, close the apps, go to hkey_current_user\software\mantmonitor.  Delete the fontsize, height, and width keys.  Then restart the app and see what happens.

I suspect if you change the font size and resize it things go awry, but I don't know yet. 

I intend to make some significant UI changes in the next version to save on screen real estate, add S2 support (since there are a LOT more values there), and I'll likely remove the font size change since it doesn't seem to be behaving consistently for everyone.

I did this - and no change - still looks messed up

great app tho - Im running 1.2 and its working well - thanks for making it

Mine looks the same.

Looks like I'll be basically rolling back the changes I made in 1.3.

Thanks for the feedback.

mines the same as well even after deleting reg keys

I'm not sure if everyone knows this - but you can also connect to your S1's portforwarded thru your firewall (externally)
(again Im running 1.2 but works with all versions)

when you go to add an ip address - this works:

externalIPaddress:port

eg:  myexternalipaddress:8090    (then portfw 8090 to the IP of your internal ANT S1 and port 80)

eg2: (for dyndns or similar)    myants1.dyndns.org:8090

(so you can connect to your S1's even when not at home)

[taipo]

I am not sure, but I do not think the antminer firmware has been put through the ringer of being externally attacked ( due to most users running them via their internal LANs ), so would not depend on its security, even if the password was a 'difficult' one. If you are going to allow external access to your antminers via port forwarding, you are going to at least.....want to have an extremely difficult password.

See: http://www.safepasswd.com for examples of strong passwords.

Much easier with this...

Hows that easier than M'sAntMonitor ?

I looked for a tutorial on setting it up with the S1 and didn't see any (I do already have it running with Minepeon as a plugin)

With MantMonitor 1.X - you just plug in the IP and the port (and the username and password) and portfw thru the FW

and no one is going to give a crap about any portfw other than 80 with sniffing

its not like your not going to know your hashrate is going down because someone pointed your S1 to their own pool

Sure, if you feel that way about it then at least make sure your password is a strong one. But if enough Antminer S1 users start allowing external access to their miners via port forwarding, then you can guaran-fkn-tee it that if there is a vulnerability in the authentication process then someone will write an exploit to create havoc for them.

Im pretty sure we would of heard of it by now and OpenWRT (the OS) is used for lots of other devices - https://openwrt.org/

[taipo]

Opening your ants up to external access is not common, so we can infer that the implementation of OpenWRT by BITMAIN has not been stress tested in that manner in the same way other devices like implementations on routers would have.

From a users perspective, a strong password is about all you can do.

Which means it'll be pounded until they crash it or find the password.

I do not recommend having your Ants accessible externally.

[rileyminer]

how do you know that opening up external access is not common ? - how many people want to know the status of their S1s when they are not home - lots I imagine - (temp, hash rate etc) - pretty interesting things

and why would Bitmain deviate so much from a standard OpenWRT build - makes no sense

But I agree a strong password is important


And to:

again they have to find your Ant S1 first - if you dont use port 80 - you've already decreased your risk of getting hit exponentially


Im leaving mine accessible externally and will report back If (and I dont expect when) I have any problem from intruders
