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

[taipo]

I don't think I can do the frequency via my app.

You would have to add SSH support. But then your app has gone from a login and read only function to changing config files in antminers of which many are not familiar enough themselves to fix should something else go awry.

Depends on how much of the nightmare you want to be able to endure, the joys of app development I suppose. If you do Id suggest you add a big disclaimer / warning for over-clocking.

You would have to SSH the login, change directory, and using vim make changes to asic-freq file.

Then call this twice:

Code:

/etc/init.d/cgminer restart

Which should kick in the new settings.

You would probably have to look at which of those under-overclock settings can be achieved successfully via changes to asic-freq alone, and dont need future pencil modding / resister manipulation etc.

Noted.  I don't think I want to go there.

I had three originally, the third was the slush proxy running on my other PC. But when the slush stratum proxy ceased working after patching the cgminer, I removed it - funny.

MultiMiner has a built-in stratum proxy feature...I use it for backing up my Ants and also used when I had a Cube. It's also my scrypt rig backup on another machine.

You could add in some optional functions that monitor and alert.

For example if you added a systray feature with a pop up speech bubble alert or similar unobtrusive notification, that pops when:
- a pool reports as dead after x secs/minutes
- temps on a miner go over x degrees
- GH drops out below x GH/s for over y seconds/minutes
- fan speeds reach max
- found a block

You could add an optional scheduler for those wanting to schedule in soft reboots, and have the reboots run in a sequence say a minute apart for each miner.

Thanks for the suggestions.  A lot of these are already on my to do list.

I just published v1.3.  Minor enhancements.. it's all I could pull off this weekend.

- Added the ability to resize the font.  The grid doesn't seem to auto resize nicely for all fonts, some manual effort may be required for really large or really small fonts.
- Added the ability to specify how many browser instances you want to run to keep an eye on your Ants.  The higher the number, the faster it'll go, but the more memory it will use.
- Added a log tab to show timing information, when an Ant is rebooted, and other info I might find useful to add.

That's interesting.  I did test it out, it works fine properly here, everything except the content of the grid resizes as it should (the grid sometimes misbehaves with large/small fonts).  What OS and version of .net are you using?

I am having similar issues here also. I am running Win7  .NET Framework 4.5.1

[taipo]

Just installed on windows 7 x64 Pro, no issues.
Entered my Ants IP's manually and the monitor was up and running within minutes!

Think you could add an option for scaling the GUI? I am unable to view all the info at one glance from my 15" laptop plus it cuts the column size down and doesn't show all the 000 or XXX (all 000 here).

Thanks a bunch!

I'd have to decrease the font size.  Is that what you're looking for?  There's a huge amount of data to display, not sure how else I could do it w/o decreasing the font.

Perhaps another way would be to allow users to define what they want displayed. For example I myself do not care to know that I have found a block ( kinda depressing if I did - plus sometimes Antminers say you have when you haven't ), or best share etc, but would like to know what the Freq I set the Ant to. Then the main interface could scale to how many fields selected.

Just updated to 1.3 but my Ants are not showing. The log shows them but nothing being displayed in the monitor section.
Looks good and the font size adjustment is nice, thanks! Would it be possible to enlarge the table bounding box? Maybe closer to the size of the entire app? That would alleviate needing to scroll to see most the info.

Any advice? v1.2 was working great!

Oh, I am on Windows 7 x64 Pro. Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by enlarging the table bounding box?  Everything is supposed to resize with the app, although I see I missed something with the log file.

Windows is puzzling at times.  All I changed on the refresh side was being able to control how many browser instances you are using. 

I'm stumped why font resize works for some, and not others.  And why 1.2 worked for you, but 1.3 doesn't.

I'm going to have to think about this.

Yo, apologies for my delayed reply. I lost 30+ hours of mining as my router crapped out again. Stinking Buffalo WZR-300HP, on 2 of those routers, the WAN port died with less than 60 days use.

Okay, so anyways, as I was saying about the "table bounding box" size...in v1.3 the Ants tab, that displays the table...well the outer box to the table is smaller than the previous version...making it so you have to scroll (horizontal) to see more info.
In v1.2 the "table bounding box" is almost the same size as the entire Ant Monitor. I also just noticed you moved the donation address and PAUSE button plus the REFRESH countdown. Maybe move the donation address and pause buttons back down to where they were in v1.2? I will get a screenshot posted soon to explain what I mean.

Thanks mate!

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 could see where the issue is. What files does the MM detect? I haven't gone through the code yet.  If its a specific file/s it needs to look at for hash rates I might be able to symlink it on the linux side easily as a workaround. Presuming thats the issue at all. I would be happy to help make this work for an s2. This kind of monitoring is what is needed for miners. Great work!!

[mstrongbow]

Here's that screenshot...

[wpgdeez]

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 might be a better question for the dev...I just know that portion worked fine. Its just not displaying info. I will have to look at the code later on to figure it out. .net is not my strong area.
