I just thought I would check back in and again, say, THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT STARTING POINT for a project.
I honestly don't know how much time I spent using VNC clients for monitoring before this nice, simple little output came along.

I ended up trimming things a bit to suit what I need to see, threw in a basic 10s page refresh into the mix and regardless of not having controls done for mine yet, I am extremely happy with what it DOES do in the mean time.

Cheers.

The best part about this, is with minimal coding experience, most users can custom tailor this to suit his/her needs with little to no effort.

Obviously not everyone needs the same, or wants/expects the same results.....so this is just great.

In all honesty, I am actually second-guessing my need to add controls, because as it is now, I don't have the ability to f$ck anything up on my miners, without actually logging in via VNC, so perhaps the 'hands-off' monitoring-only approach is all I really need.
I like to mess around with overclocks etc, so in it's current running state, it actually keeps me out of trouble and gives me exactly what I need and nothing more

If you would allow it, I would also be more than happy to package-up what I have, so that just in case, anyone who just wants simple monitoring for a couple/few machines that all fit on a single non-scrolling page could get by quite nicely without getting in over their heads.

Let me know what you think and I will zip it up and throw up a download link if you approve.

sure.  it is a unix timestamp of the start time.  I think you will see the same value in the dumps.

this is beta after all.  I took a couple of minutes formatting it, but I kept getting warnings about the local.  just never got back to it.  you can just replace $since with  date("F j, Y, g:i a",$since)

hi

i wanted to try this, so i edited the php file as follows:


Those names are in the host file (this is a linux debian machine running one cgminer, apache2 with php5, and a few more things)

I also tried the ips.

And i get this:

for some reason i was never able to save my config, so i ended up always running it with all the commands from commandline, but i do have:

--api-listen --api-network

port is optional, if i dont want to change it, right ?

ps: what is the older cgminer that has the api functions ? (i have the latest one on "Z", but the other pcs might have older ones, and "omega" has 2.0.7, which i believe does not support API functions).

ps2: will try disabling my win7 firewall on "Z" now

is the :


at the end, ok ?

EDIT: didnt work

will have a look at that (i do have .bat and .sh scripts, so i double click them, or schedule them to run, its not like i do it by hand )

i downloaded what you linked on your first post.

I also tried "anubis", and it worked, but i preffer your simpler approach, with no db involved, but i can't get it to run

it wasnt the firewall (when i first ran it with the api enabled it autoamically asked for firewall permission)

after disabling it, nothing changed (and anubis worked fine with it activated).

Any chance i did something wrong with your .php ? (or that the one from the first post is not working )

what puzzles me is:

Array
(
)
1

that at the end.

If im not mistaken, your code uses the same "stuff" to get this info "anubis" uses, right ?

can't think why it wont work.

ps: i'll go back to struggle with compiling cgminer on debian x86, i cant remember, for the life of me, how i did it the first time, now it always tells me no openCL found (even if i point it to where the sdk is).

cgminer 2.2 has a reworked API. Perhaps thats what you are struggling with?

Well, I think I just stumbled on WHY a Database might be useful for maintaining near realtime (under 3 secs?) stats.....

I have been playing around with Javascript/Ajax updating of the stats, rather than my simple meta-refresh and my experience is, excessive RPC polling seems to have a negative effect on the Host Miner's overall performance....by as much as 5+% and creates a shit ton of undesirable network overhead in the process.

Now, keep in mind.... I'm a pretty shitty coder (a copy/paste guru at best) so unless you have stumbled onto something that is seemingly over my head, my current 10sec meta-refresh is going to be IT for my application, as it seems to play nice and have next to NO effect (negative) on anything else on the network.

jim, care to comment ? maybe a quick shove in the right direction if I am completely off the mark ?

Thanks,
bitlane.
