So I've got a question.  The telemetry HTTP interface lists the card type but the JSON-RPC does not - however, the card order in the miner does not match nvidia-smi or PCI ordering.  How does the miner order the cards?

It'd be great if in the telemetry JSON-RPC you included the uuid for the card -- for larger deployments it'd let us identify specifically which card the miner was referring to.  Or the PCI slot ID or anything. Smiley

If this information is already there or there's a logical method that the miner organizes the cards please let me know.  For example, in one of my rigs I have the following

1060   PCI bus: 0:01:00.0
1060   PCI bus: 0:02:00.0
1070   PCI bus: 0:03:00.0
1070ti PCI bus: 0:05:00.0
1070ti PCI bus: 0:06:00.0

That's also how they are ordered in nvidia SMI and nvidia-settings (all linux obviously).  However, the miner reports them as follows:
0   GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
1   GeForce GTX 1060
2   GeForce GTX 1060
3   GeForce GTX 1070
4   GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

The 1060 in pci bus 01 is the "active" interface carrying xorg for reference.
