Re: CGWatcher 1.3.6, a GUI/monitor for CGMiner & BFGMiner to help minimize downtime
I have a number of questions for you.
I purchased cgremote and I have it monitoring my three miners - all miners are running cgminer
one is running the cgminer branch for gridseeds - however in devices for gridseeds it shows accepted/rejected/errors etc but does not show the hash rates for each of the gridseeds - how can we get this working so that I can monitor each of the gridseeds?
If I can monitor each of the gridseeds then can I get a warning notice is the hash rate for that miner falls below a certain number?
then I have two mining rigs with GPU's
I'd like to monitor them the same way and get a warning if the has rate falls below a certain number.
in addition all three says "access: Read only" and I'd like to be able to stop and restart the miners on those machine through your product - can that be done?
In addition: Under the coins tabs you have a box checked by default that says "Send coin data regularly to all connected miners running cgwatcher -am I to assume that since I am not running windows on the mining machines this cannot be done?
and I assume that cgwatcher can only be run on windows machines that are also mining?
thanks and I look forward to some answers.
one other thing: you have this on your website: is any of this available with me running cgminer on ubuntu machines?

With the lack of standards and the wide variety of (growing) miners, devices, and versions, it's sometimes difficult to add support for devices that I do not personally have access to. So if you can help me with some information, I'll try to get this fixed in CGRemote asap. What I need is a debug report from your Gridseed miner. You can create this by opening the miner detail window (clicking button with magnifying glass), and clicking API in the toolbar near the middle of the window. For "Miner API Command:", select "[Create Debug Report]" and click Submit. If you can email me this info, I'll figure out what is going wrong. I have a feeling I know what it may be, and it should be something I can fix... but this data will help in confirming and fixing it.
As for the notifications regarding hashrates, this feature is coming soon. You'll also be able to set CGRemote to take action if this occurs (e.g. restart the miner, restart a device, etc.)
That leads to read-only API access, which would need to be full access in order for CGRemote to make any changes to the miner. To do this, make sure CGRemote's IP address is preceded with a W: in the miner's "api-allow" setting. So if CGRemote is running on a computer with IP 192.168.1.10, the miner's "api-allow" setting would need to be:
"api-allow" : "W:192.168.1.10,"
or in command line arguments:
--api-alloow W:192.168.1.10
As for sending coin data to miners, this is only available for miners running CGWatcher. The miner itself doesn't retrieve any of this data so it wouldn't know what to do with it even if it were sent it.
Right now CGWatcher is only available for Windows. This means that some advanced features in CGRemote are only available for Windows miners, because they require CGWatcher. We're already working on a solution to provide similar functionality for Linux and OSX miners so that all features in CGRemote are available to all miners, regardless of operating system.
Let me know if you have any other questions, or if I didn't explain one well enough. Also, thanks for purchasing CGRemote. I think you'll really like some of the ideas we're working on.
