ethminer API timing out, but only on remote agent connections

I have hundreds of messages like this on the remote agent log per day on my miners(which eventually lead to false positive offline detection):

Code:

2020/11/01 6:51:23.796 [016] [E]Failed to process API request (localhost, time: 13006 ms): {"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"miner_getstatdetail"}

Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

48 hours ago I started running a script I made that reads the API on localhost every 5 seconds on every miner, I also ran the script 3 times on my machine with each instance pointing to the IP of each miner, the script instances never failed to connect and always took just a few milliseconds everywhere(only once in the 48 hours from my machine one instance took around one second to respond but responded correctly). I made this test with firewall disabled and freshly restarted miners.

I tried setting the priority of the remote agent process to high, I don't think it made a difference.

This is happening with ethminer 0.17.1 (chosen via awesome miner) and ethminer-0.19.0-7+commit.66186f1b (manually uploaded via awesome miner custom software). Although it seems to happen more on the updated version. I'm not using 0.18.0 (chosen via awesome miner) as it that version of ethminer has a bug that prevents the api from responding. I'm using the later version mainly because 0.17.1 won't show any data while mining, I believe the only data missing when using the later version is the individual progress details for each gpu.

Any suggestion on what else I could try? thanks

Thanks for the detailed description and for your analysis. So at the same time Remote Agent get a timeout after 13 seconds, your tool connecting to the same EthMiner API is receiving a response without any problems? Do you see a timeout error like this and then it works fine for a while and then another timeout and so on?

I will have to look into this a bit more because I cannot see any obvious reason why Remote Agent would timeout if the API is in fact working.

For the API data processing, I can make a few adjustments to make sure it parses the API response correctly once received.

Correct, my tool never failed to get the API data quickly, I'm using the same command I saw on the logs(miner_getstatdetail)

Update: I installed the latest updates for windows 1909 on windows update(security, servicing stack, cumulative and a .net 3.5 update but not edge), after about 10 hours the timeouts seem to be less common, one machine had 0, other 12 and other 16(6 consecutive timeouts once which triggered the offline detection that is set to 60 seconds now). The API was fully responsive all the time on all miners when requesting information from my computer with my tool (every 5 seconds never taking more than a few milliseconds).
I'll reformat one miner with latest windows to test when I can.

Thanks for the update.

If you look at the Windows Defender advanced settings, where all applications are listed - are there any difference between Awesome Miner and your tool? For example the Profile (Private, Public)?

Is it possible to change the values ​​of MEM and VDDCI?
And when rebooting, it does not keep the values ​​of the fans, puts it on the machine all the time

Hello everyone,

If anyone here is mining on Mining Pool Hub, are you having issues mining the Ethash algorithm? When I try to mine in any of their Ethash pools, the miners usually close within a few seconds. I am not sure what the issue is after checking many settings within Awesome Miner.

I did the tests with firewall disabled but I normally have it set to not notify and not block all, so there are no extra rules. I only have the inbound rule for AwesomeMinerService (9630) which is private(as my network type). My tool (made in PHP and run locally via cli) doesn't listen on any port.

The updated 8.1.6 made awesome miner show more info for 0.17.1 but shows nothing for 0.19 (ethminer-0.19.0-7+commit.66186f1b). It seems those 2 versions APIs have different fields in the response. I haven't had any timeouts with 8.1.6 and 0.17.1 in a while so I'll just use that for now, thanks.

Now i see no temps on all of my ryzen (1200, 1600, 2600x, G2400) In system tab it show me the temp, but status and the CPU tab give only 0°C, with v8.1.4 all works fine.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to reproduce this.
Are you using XmRig or any other CPU mining software? Are all CPU cores reported with 0°C?

Hi patrike,

i use xmrig and srbminer multi, all show 0 for all cores.

And what do you mean:

User interface
  - Organize rule actions with group labels to make it easier to find

Where i can organize the rules? Or what do you mean. I find no option or something else.

Hi,

Can someone tell me exactly what does the Clean up all downloaded and uploaded mining software option on the System tools menu due?

Thank

Patrik, new T-Rex 0.18.7 awaiting new param -w for setting rig name. Can you implement this in next releases? Regards.

It does what it says. It delete all downloaded and uploaded mining software on the selected rig/miner.

These properties cannot be set explicitly by Remote Agent, but I can look into it as a future improvement.
In general, you can define a GPU Clocking Profile for your Managed Miner and it will apply your clocking settings as soon as the miner is started.

About the release note entry about the rule. This is just a user interface change where the menu with all actions are re-structured (changed order, use labels to group different kinds of actions to make them easier to find). It's not a new way to organize the rules - although I do plan to allow for that in the future by introducing some group concept.

Awesome Miner and Remote Agent downloads mining software (like Claymore Ethereum Miner, XmRig, ...) to your computer when needed. When you click on this menu item Awesome Miner will remove all downloaded mining software from disk.

In case some mining software file is corrupt (or removed by Anti-virus software), it can make sense to force a cleanup. Next time you start the mining Awesome Miner will automatically download the mining software again before trying to start it.

Patrik, new T-Rex 0.18.7 awaiting new param -w for setting rig name. Can you implement this in next releases? Regards.

I will look into this. Was it only for three of the algorithms -w is supported?

Yes, only for this 3 algos (ethash, kawpow, progpow) . I have quick tested with HoneyComb algo and rig name appear on the pool. Hope design of AM allow this special chnanges.

Patrike, for user defined coins if price will be dynamicly updated in USD, this price will not appear in bottom bar. Its appear if price will be defined in BTC. Is this normal or you can improve for both variants?
You can test it self for Conflux coin.

https://www.confluxscan.io/v1/plot?interval=20&limit=1
difficulty json: list.[0].difficulty
hashrate json: list[0].hashRate
block time json: list[0].blockTime

for BTC price:
https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=conflux-token&vs_currencies=btc
conflux-token.btc

or for USD price:
https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=conflux-token&vs_currencies=usd
conflux-token.usd

Pls. push updates for Bminer, T-Rex, Nanominer   Regards

Thanks for the report. I will look into this case.

I've pushed a number of mining software updates now.

I have always been on Windows and in the settings "Managed Software" I can specify the path for the Windows version of the miner.  
But where to specify the path for another version of the miner for Linux?

hi patrike,

any news about the ryzen cpu temp? no temps for ryzen 1x00 and ryzen 2x00 cpu´s. Mining software xmrig and srbminer multi.

Sometimes the pool balance for nanopool xmr calculated wrong:

monero pool balance 0.66 and AM says, it is worth around 20000€.


Phönixminer 5.2c was released.

How can you monitor Hive OS, RaveOS via AM?

Patrike,

Good day -- Antminer Z11 with the latest firmware from Bitmain and AwesomeMiner 8.1.6 seem to be very creative in the performance calculations.

The output below is from a Z11e with 1 hashboard running for testing purposes:


https://imgur.com/JEQoFZg

It is actually running around 30KSol but Awesome Miner insists it is running at 30MSol.

Even better than that, it will report TH instead of M making that single board a significantly profitable according to the calculation.


https://imgur.com/mtVeEzQ

As best I can tell the API responses from this latest cgminer and from a Z15 are identical; the exception being that Z11 sends an extra \000 at the end of the "summary" and at the end of the "devs" API calls.

We have a mutual customer who is using my firmware and your (licensed) AM running into this issue.

I'm unsure how to fix this as it is happening with the stock firmware and I cannot find anything wrong with the API output save for the extra newline+\000.

What do you need to help troubleshoot the issue?

*edit* added in direct links as apparently I can't post image links embedded here at the moment.

Thank you,

Jason
