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

[mdude77]

Maybe that was a bit harsh but the cgminer api is readable by default although it is restricted to read only(it initializes using "--api-network"). Using this for management is fine but I would be very careful about the refresh rate especially with S1. I would suggest using the cgminer API for monitoring instead of the html pages it will be much faster.

Speed isn't an issue.  As noted above, the UI to the S1s is slow as well. 

I'm also doubtful the cgminer shows everything the UI shows, such as the status of the Ant chains.

M

It does show that information. The UI simply reads the cgminer API actually so everything you see there can be pulled directly off the cgminer API.

I had a look at the cgminer API.  I also googled antminer API.  The only thing I found is S1s default to 127.0.0.1 only, so you have to change it before you can reach it on the network.  I found zero info on the API that the S1s and S2s use in cgminer.  However I did find lots of people saying they were unable to get the cgminer APIs to provide what they needed, for one reason or another.

Since you seem to be in the know, would you mind pointing me to some documentation on the API?

Thanks.

I was browsing around on an S1 when I first got it. I think one could enable the API for local network with a change of one of the files. Want me to test and report back? I think it voids the warranty though

I think a few changes here could allow API access to the miner.

/etc/config/cgminer

Code:

config cgminer 'default'
        option chip_frequency '282'
        option miner_count '24'
        option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1'
        option more_options '--quiet'
        option target '60'
        option overheat '70'
        option pool1url 'cure.cryptopools.com:3347'
        option pool1user 'runlinux.50'
        option pool1pw '1'

Thanks for looking.  I do not want to require someone to edit a file.  I want this to be PNP, like S1s.

I think, though, this confirms it's only accessible by localhost without a change.

I just made a change to allow anything on 192.168.1.0/24 and it didn't accept a pool change Sounds like the only clean way to get data is through the webpage. It was worth a shot.

EDIT:

I too am also having issues with 1.5 finding my S1's. I tried deleting all of them and re-adding and still no luck I get an error when I try to run 1.4 now.

No, it is accessible over the network by default, the reason this is not obvious is because the api option is in the cgminer init file.

These are the options cgminer starts with

Code:

cgminer --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:40:350:4d81 -o 50.31.149.57:3333 -O antminer_1:123 -o http://stratum.antpool.com:6688 -O bm1_1:123 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.50btc.com:3333 -O info@bitmaintech.com:123 --api-listen --api-network

As you can see it is operating in listen mode, you can't actually change cgminer options using the API in this mode but you can view everything that you would see in the stats page.

And of course you can see pretty much everything in the cgminer stats that you would in the webui.

Have you posted already where that registry key is located? I'd like to "fix" that in the short term.

I'm running Linux Mint 16 x64 with the low latency kernel.
I have installed VirtualBox and have loaded my OEM copy of Windows Vista Business 32-Bit (yea, I know, it's why I run Linux), installed the needed .NET.
v1.4 shows my S1 on the "Ants" tab.
v1.5 does not.
The v1.5 logs and browser1 show successful connections with the S1.

So I'm running 1.4 right now and have the vbox set up in seamless mode, so it's right there under the Java BitMinter Client on my Linux desktop.
Reminds me of when I ran Windows under OS/2...

I also have to note that M's Pool Monitor v3.9 is very nice.

You may need to restart Windoze to accept the registry change.  Just deleting the key may not be sufficient.

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm still at a loss as to why version to version it works for some people, but not others.  I hope to be able to make use of the cgminer API for the next version, and add some debug info for the web side (you'll be able to choose which one you want).

I also have to note that M's Pool Monitor v3.9 is very nice.

Deleting or renaming should be fine.  That's what I do to test it to make sure I didn't miss anything for completely new users.

everything looks great except it still doesnt actually reboot my miners

Are you sure?  I know the reboot functionality works, as it reboots both my S1s and S2s.  Keep in mind sometimes Xs don't go away with warm reboots.  My S2 was rebooted every 15 minutes all day the other day while I was at work "your thing downstairs has been beeping all day", and only after I power cycled it did the X go away.

Love the idea and the app works somewhat here. v1.5
The fans, temps, freqs and status are all blank.
I see there are some issues but thought I would check in with my experience as well.
Would be nice to see a stop button for the scan feature as well in the future possibly?

That's a new one!  Hopefully the next version will work properly for you.

I'm just curious, are you using S1s or S2s?

Would be nice to see a stop button for the scan feature as well in the future possibly?

Good idea.

I expect the next version to be a bit faster with scanning however.

I'm running one S1, but only 1 blade currently; I don't think it's relevant but full disclosure..
Browser 1 tab loads and displays the stats. It's just in the Ants tab that the fields don't populate entirely.

That's a known "issue".  It expects there to be 2 blades, and doesn't know how to respond if there are 1.

Ooops sorry about that, I must not of read through the thread as entirely as I thought.
I see why, most people who would run this would have more than 1 ant to monitor.
