And this is what I made to monitor my rigs. It has features not present in cgminer.



Like fan failure, shutdowns the computer if the miner is not working(currently cgminer) and the temp is rising above a certain threshold.
If and when the cgminer API is extended further, I will first reduce intensity which helps bring down GPU usage thus temps and only then stop miner thread if needed.

No, i did not miss it.  eye candy is just that.....  eye candy.  im going for functionality and speed.

Exactly.

There is worthless eye candy (which is still "cool") and then there is use of color to break up text and highlight most important data points such as:
* GPU temp over set amount
* GPU hashrate below set amount
* GPU SICK/DEAD
* Pool stale rate above set %
* Pool down
etc

Not sure if copying cgminer's layout is particularly useful. When monitoring multiple rigs it becomes confusing and difficult to parse.

Id rather see one big table with all GPU's and their most important stats (status, hashrate, temps, fan %, clock, pool stats,..)
and yeah, color coding is almost a must. The good thing about anubis is that in one second I can see if there is a problem or not. What I dont like about it is having to drill down to get "details", although I dont consider card temps a detail, and having an average for an entire rig is rather useless if one GPU is overheating, it will barely show.

At some point graphs would be nice too (like hashrate, temperature and fans over time).

tossing more random idea's; dont even know if its possible, but having a link to open an ssh session to the rig would be cool. Better yet, an integrated ssh client in the browser. Hey, I can dream, cant I? actually, thinking it over, what do I need ssh for; its mostly to control cgminer settings, once cgminer offers an interface for that, that would almost be enough. A restart cgminer and reboot button would be very useful though, and should be doable over ssh.

More stuff.. to make this a "one click, see all" page; pool stats (latest blocks found, my hashrate over the last shifts etc) and bitcoin exchange rate. Would be nice to be able to see everything in one click in the morning.

While Im spouting idea's.. make a page that works on mobile phones.

Hey Jim, first off, I love the demo link you posted. This looks great so far.

I decided to give it a shot and unfortunately all I have to use currently on my home network is a Win 2k8 x86 web server running IIS7.
I have PHP installed already (for previous work I needed), but it seems that I must be missing something, as I can not get it working.
It simply dies when trying to connect/create the socket connection and displays an error in the 'include' file.

Any tips or anything I should be looking for specifically ?

Thanks in advance.

php-sockets was the problem.... it was commented out in the php.ini file.

Everything works great now.

Thanks for your help

I don't know how useful it would be for other people but I would like an GPU level interface.

something like:

Example:

Host level stats could then be on a different page.  This would allow an easy view of all the GPU across all the rigs in one unified table.

Likely this is more useful for people with 3+ rigs and 10+ GPU.

Awesome.  Great work BTW.  When I proposed the RPC project and bounty this was exactly the kind of projects I had in mind.  With display decoupled from the mining engine there can be multiple independent projects.

I am glad your finding it useful.  I find it extremely useful for my 17 rigs.

I am going to also be adding controls.  enabling and disabling wasn't important to me, so I did not add it YET.  but I will be adding all controls as soon as the app is ready. I am about to refactor the whole page to make it more organized.  it is possible I could just put div containers around the rest of the parts missing it and all you have to do is include a different style sheet?

enjoy.
