Hello!

Is there a way to set the accuracy of the time stamp in the remote monitoring data (I can't find an option for this in the config.txt file) else can the accuracy be improved in the base code?

I'm looking at coding up a dashboard to plot the miner performance stats (rate, temps, fan speeds etc)... ideally I'd pull the data from the remote monitoring url as this is easier to set up than pointing to the log file, but the time stamp is chopped to the minute so it's not accurate enough to plot the data (since there can be multiple results per minute). I think chopping to the second would be adequate.

The alternative is that I just overwrite any existing data with the later data for a specific time stamp, so it just plots the most recent data for that stamp, but it seems a shame to waste perfectly good data.

Thanks!

Hi there!

I thought I'd share this since maybe somewhere here wants to do something similar and it might save them some time.

My miner has been playing up on the last version (5.6) and I wanted to capture the performance data so that I could plot it and see if there's any indications of when it's going to fnck up. I ended up writing some Python code that imports a log file, extracts the data and then generates some charts.

Here's a post describing what the code is doing https://jonnymaserati.github.io/2021/08/21/why-engineers-should-use-python.html.

There's a link at the bottom of the post to download the .py file.

Hope it helps someone... I can always make a repo on GitHub if anyone wants to develop it a bit more.

Interestingly, the problem I was having (the hash rate dropping to zero and then rocketing to a huge value before crashing the miner) seems to have stopped since updating to version 5.7b and this didn't happen with previous versions?

Have you tried using a different port? Maybe that port number is already in use on your machine.

Set a different port with:
 

Why do hardware options appear to have little to no effect using PhoenixMiner (was also the case with Claymore) on Ubuntu?

They work fine on Windows 10 where I can get my Vega 56 cards running around 120 watts with a decent hash rate, but I can't bring down the power at all when running under Ubuntu? For example, the desktop I'm writing this on has a Vega 64 LE that I know is good for high 40s hash rates with ETH, ETC etc. But under Ubuntu I can't budge it from 36 MH/s and 260 W.

Currently running Ubuntu 20.04.1 with open AMD 20.30 driver and PhoenixMiner 5.3b.

Any ideas?
