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

[bitsolutions]

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.

FYI using the WebUI for reboots is not reliable. This is an issue with the antminer, the only reliable method is ssh.

Umm.. it works fine here.  Sometimes I get Xs that won't go away without a power cycle, but for the most part, the webui reboot works fine.  Automated no less.

It usually works, but is not 100% due to S1 WebUI being somewhat buggy. SSH automation is ideal but not sure how easy it is to do with a windows tool like this(easy to do in linux/mac).

I stopped using Norton LONG ago.  There were too many things it didn't like/allow that I did!

I stopped using Norton a long time ago because it ALLOWS too many things that I don't want.
False positives like this are annoying but when it allows all sorts of other malware that isn't specifically a "virus" but then that malware brings in a virus, that pisses me off.
I also stopped using Windows on my main home computer.

Norton/McAfee are THE worst AV programs to run. You are safer without either of those two and no AV than running either Norton or McAfee!

I want to try this, but whether it will crash with avast anti-virus?

I run Avast free without any issues on more than 1 machine. Make sure to uninstall your old AV and use CCleaner or something to clean your registry before installing Avast.

I use Avast Free AV...I quit using AVG years ago! Also, SpyBot S&D is another good level of protection.

i manually added 8, .92 - .99 but only have .92 - .95 on at the moment. It displayed 1 that is on and the 4 that are off.

Give it some time to load...I have 7 IP's in my monitor but only 4 active Ants and all 4 of my Ants show in the monitor. Just takes a few moments for them all to show.

It usually works, but is not 100% due to S1 WebUI being somewhat buggy. SSH automation is ideal but not sure how easy it is to do with a windows tool like this(easy to do in linux/mac).

Generally you will find the main issue with rebooting via the webui is that it can under certain circumstances cease responding, therefore will not accept a manual request to restart. VB does not as far as I know, come with any sort of SSH functions prebuilt in, I guess you'd have to embed some sort of ssh client to allow the interface to login via ssh and for example, restart cgminer.

Speed is not really a thing with this type of tool though because no matter what, its a hell of a lot faster than manually logging in to the web interface of x amount of ants, which is most peoples experience who have little idea what ssh is. Resources wise, how could it use any more resources than a user manually doing the same thing. I made something similar to this a while back, but its main mission was to output a web page so I can view the status of the ants remotely ( rather than forward ports to the ants ), I have it run every 10 minutes, grabs the stats and writes them to a webpage, basically the same way this app gathers data for its gui, works well enough.

 I think the only thing to watch out for in terms of resources, is not having it run its checks too closely together, for example nothing more strenuous than say what a user would inflict on an Ant via manually viewing the stats page via a browser.

Brilliant tool thank you!

Just to report that the auto-reboot thing doesn't work... (for me anyway). I've waiting for quite a while but it keeps hashing away without a reboot... (not to worry though).

How do you know it's not rebooting?  I know it reboots mine because my uptime keeps getting reset.  Otherwise I wouldn't know (I don't watch the logs).

Thank you for posting this.  It's most useful.

Here's what you can do to use S1's API on the network:
[LIST=1]

• SSH into the AntMiner (user/password: root/root)
• Edit /etc/config/cgminer (e.g. using vi)
  
• Modify the api_allow argument to read option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.0/24' (for a192.168.1.0/24-based network)
  
• Restart the S1 (e.g. using sudo reboot)

That shuld do it if it's not enabled by default.
I doubt that would void warranty because the change is reversable.
Of course the API approach would be more natural and faster.
Nice work though !

P.S. One suggestion if I may - It would be more convenient to put the most recent version in the first post of the thread.
