I'm using Hive OS for a couple of months now and no issues, it’s super easy to set up and use. Quite clear graphical interface from browser for checking. They are constantly updating and adding new features.
Never had an issue.

Well, best remote dashboard to monitor and manage (and access) your rigs is definitely minerstat.

Most feature rich solution - and it also looks great.
You can even overclock/undervolt your rigs remotely, use triggers and attach them to IFTTT (if you use smart plugs), monitor balance from you pool/wallet, etc.

There is also a good program Ammyy. I always put it in the autoload in parallel. It helps me not to remain without management if there are problems with the server Teamviwer. I have a friend who uses Ammyy more and says that this software is better. Enjoy you and make your choice. I can only give advice.

I'm reading about several exploits since the ammyy sourcecode leak, I'd be careful a bit. Maybe they find more exploits in the SC

I use chrome remote desktop and best of all its free for unlimited amounts of pc's unlike TV.

I have set up chrome remote control today and the cursor is not showing. I have tried to put pointers to the default scheme but still, it is not showing.


It is known issue for years. It is because you don't have mouse plugged on your rigs.

Solutions ;

1. Plug a mouse to each of your rigs.
2. You need to move this area with your mouse. You need to find it by your mouse using your insticts.

I'll also add that your mouse is technically 'there' but the cursor doesn't appear if you don't have a mouse plugged in. So if your short of a mouse, you can move the mouse remotely over your phone for example and see the different icons highlight on your desktop as your invisible cursor passes over them.

I use Teamviewer for managing my rigs + Broadlink SP3S / SP3 smart power plug for remote power on/off the rig via app, if it freeze. Works well and the cost is $10-18 from ali (there is version with power meter monitor, but i dont use that monitor anyway - got dedicated).


Does the broadlink SP3s work trough a WAN (outside of the local network) or only on local wifi ?


Because I would like to be able to control them when I'm at work or at home for example.


You can control SP3 / SP3s  from anywhere in the world. Just download app and login.

Many thanks, just the confirmation I needed.

TEAMVIEWER nothing else i think best software monitoring and control client. Almost 3 years i used it to control and monitoring my rigs. Easy to use, powerful and very secure.
But, yes if something happen to client like crash or hang, we can not do anything. Just waiting somebody to reboot it Smiley
Anyway, teamviewer still worth to use it for monitoring.

when you increase the number of rigs you have, at some point you would wish to have some sort of a server/hub machine that can access all your rigs.

I invested in buying a decent server machine (just a normal computer with a fast SSD; got Awesome Miner for my rigs and SRR.

Cost was a bit high at the beginning, but the more rigs that are running, the more the cost was offset among them.

SRR is able to shutdown/turnon/restart all the rigs.
Awesome Miner is able to manage all the miners running and monitor them.
And through the server machine, I'm able to access any of the rigs. I got a vpn running on the machine and I'm able to access it remotely.

I have a few mining rigs I use to mine ethereum that run on windows 10. I am not the most technically inclined person when it comes to troubleshooting or messing with settings. Luckily I am invested in this with someone who is. The drawback is that this person lives approximately an hour away from me, and every time something needs updating or fixing he needs to make the trip to my place. So I am wondering what software is out there that would allow him full control of these mining rigs from the comfort of his home? I have played around with quick support but find it is somewhat limited in terms of what I am looking for. Anyone out there have any better ideas?


I used to use the TeamViewer application to control my rig, but the use of the application using a large bandwidth then the connection is often disconnected.
 
so I am currently using the Chrome Remote desktop and ultra viewer apps to control my rigs, in addition to those apps using small bandwidth, the display performance is lighter than the TeamViewer

Gonna give chrome remote desktop a try after hearing everyone speak highly of it.

Edit: Just installed it but I have to sign in with my google account on my remote computers. That sucks, don't need my bookmarks synced with remote miners.

I can't configure Awesome miner without having a VPN installed on my remote rigs. Do you guys have any good suggestions for a cheap but reliable VPN?

TeamViewer is free so easy choice there. RealVnC for less than 5 rigs works well too.

Today i got burnt by TeamViewer - for the second time! The first time was an onsite-test and i wrote it off as a hiccup of the software.
I lost contact to my farm. The TeamViewer-ID seems to be deleted (according to my err msg)
However i can see my JumpHost as online and well because of the trial-version of ITbrain monitoring.
A request at teamviewer is open but i do not put much hope in it. Trusting TV was my Single point of failure Smiley
The miners are running but i really dont like having lost control.
I will make sure to install another tool next time i get there.

I had similar issues with teamviewer so i suggest Chrome Remote desktop

Does awesome miner support solominig and ANY miner out there? Or does it support only some known miners? I am not interested in eth, zcash or any other coin that is on what to mine.

That's a difficult question to answer in a definitive yes or no.  If it's a windows based miner, then yes, you can upload custom mining software and pass along custom command line options.  If the mining software doesn't have standard monitoring APIs, then Awesome Miner may not be able to read the statistics.  You would basically be using Awesome Miner to setup the software to apply as a template to multiple rigs.

As for solo mining, yes... but it would require some more advanced rules sets to launch the wallet prior to starting the mining software.  You'd still have to configure quite a bit by hand, but once it's setup, you have basically created a template to apply to multiple rigs quickly.  Awesome Miner has the ability to use your own C# scripts and has a well documented API.

vnc + (where necessary) openvpn
that. just not where necessary, but always.

the overhead of running openvpn is so small that you can run openvpn server on any of your workers. more than that you may create several vlans with different gateways and by adding multiple TAPs and configuring openvpn service to autostart run several vlans simultaneously.

RDP is not suitable for accessing GPU miners, as it is too smart for it to be effective - it resides on a higher levels and have problems with accessing graphics drivers (it uses some kind of abstractions instead) basically it will do fine if the miner application was started NOT from RDP session, but within the session you won't be able to initialize GPUs properly.

realvnc enterprise edition is the thing for total control, also native vnc viewer for android is awesome. and combining with OpenVpn for android allows me to have total control from anywhere.

You are right about monitoring protecting me from losses.
However i think that parsing a few values and sending a mail based on those is fair for 35 bucks.
The app will run in the remote-subnet where the miners are so i can only use the gui via RemoteSession.
The "cloud service" (if i got it right the webfrontend to logon) is charged extra on that awesome-miner.
Thats a bit of a bummer for me. Even if i payed the 4$ for their webserver, i needed the "professional" version.
So i pay 70$ once and in a year i pay 48$ for access to a webfrontend.
120$ in the first year.
Awesome Miner is doing a bit more than simply parsing a few values. Even on the Standard Edition you can setup powerful rules for notifications and automation, and there is a large number of other features as well.

The new Cloud Services is completely optional and is provided as a service for those that don't want to host their own web interface. You can use your Awesome Miner Standard Edition with the Cloud Services, so there is no need to go for any more expensive edition as in your example above.

If you do use Professional Edition of Awesome Miner, you have the built-in web server you can use instead. Using this one, you don't need the Cloud Services at all. So either you host the web interface yourself, or you go for the Cloud Services subscription. Both options are available to make as many people as possible happy.

crypto-coin mining and monitoring on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. MultiMiner simplifies switching individual devices (GPUs, ASICs, FPGAs) between crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. MultiMiner uses the underlying mining engine (BFGMiner) to detect available mining hardware and then presents an intuitive screen for choosing the coins you'd like to mine.

I personally use Team Viewer
I prefer to make the miner auto start with the rig
After setting up everything I restart the miner
Yeah sometimes the miner crashes or pc stucks , This is mostly due to unstable clocks or auto switching mining application anyways in that case someone has to manually restart the rig
So I prefer to lose the extra hash or two in favour of stabality
Not having a small extra boost is better then not having anything for sometime also a lot of hastle can be avoided

Windows 10 RDP has functionality issues with miners. I prefer Team Viewer, which allows full control as well as file transfer and is free for personal use. It also has smartphone apps for on the go access.

except teamviewer has its own set of problems with miners, like reducing hashrate on one gpu among other things. if yall are using claymores miners why not use his miner manager,

Are you sure Teamviewer reduce hashrate for one gpu ? Never heard about that before

Source ? How much would it reduce ?

Thanks Smiley

Any time you use your primary GPU to display graphics, it will affect that primary GPU's hashrate.  It doesn't matter if it's the console, RDP, Teamviewer, VNC or others.  When you are done with your remote session, stop the session.  Problem solved.

You can use the cloud service with any level of the base Awesome Miner software.  So, you can buy the $35 for the base software, and then get the $4 a month cloud service on top of it.

If you just buy the $70 base software then you get the web server, and then you can do a port-forward on your firewall to access the system that is running AM.  You will then have the full web interface with remote capability for only a $70 one time cost.

The cloud service is a convenience offered if you don't want to open your firewall or can't.  There's obviously a monthly fee for this for Patrike to maintain the service and pay for the server.

I manage my mining rig farm remotely. When I say remotely I mean 3000 miles away from where I actually live. More on my setup here:

damm, it seems that awesome-miner has some kind of monopoly now.
Most freeware-projects are dead or do not offer notification-settings.
The aweseome-miner is a bit clunky on my Eeepc-screen.
I have to kill it by taskmanager to exit, because the whole window is not visible to click on "X" and the ESC-key is not recognized.
35$ for mail-notification is a bit high imho

Would you rather lose profits by not being notified?  Time is money in mining... $35 is not a lot in the grand scheme of things.  You could make that back in a month or less depending on how big your mining operation is.

but once your farm is at a certain size you just need it, time is money Wink
the last i heard from teamviewer there were some big holes in their security. but it was some time ago.

less software is better, each 3rd party app is potential security risk. keep that in mind
Awesome Miner has been on the market for 3 years, and the Bitcointalk thread has also been there for 3 years where you find many users running the software with both small scale and large scale mining operations. The software is successfully being used at very large mining operations with up to 5000 miners.

Which license did you get from awesome miner ? The cheapest which allows monitoring is 35 bucks.
The idea is that Awesome Miner should save you both time and money, by detecting any issues with the mining and take action and give you a notification. TeamViewer (and similar) should only be used for remote desktop access, not for monitoring.

I am using teamviewer for remote access to my rig. I have set up the rig to automatically start after power loss and put teamviewer to start automatically with the windows. Been using it for some time now and never had any problems.

I also noticed that when you connect with the teamviewer one of your GPUs losses some hash power (15%) but that is not a issue for me since I only connect for short periods of time every few days.

Here i use teamview +  arduino with relays bord to restart or turn on/off my rigs.

Could you share a bit about how you setup your arduino to restart your rigs. When my rigs get problem, I still have to call back home for restarting.

Thanks!

I use 1 arduino mega 2560 + 1 x 16 relay board and i developed an application in c ++ to control it.
I connected every power button from the rigs to the relay board, so, when a pc freezes i activate the relay output to turn on/off the rigs, the app and the arduino are installed in a master pc that I access through the teamview to manage all my rigs (16 rigs), it's very simple to do. You can also connect arduino directly to the network and use a php page to control it remotely, so you don't have to use a pc with teamview, but, this is more complicated to do.

I'm inclined to suggest upgrading to Windows 10 Pro and use RDP over VPN.

I manage my linux farm remotely using ssh/X via L2TP/IPsec.  Just rebooted one of my machines this morning.  The miner froze for some reason.

I have a few mining rigs I use to mine ethereum that run on windows 10. I am not the most technically inclined person when it comes to troubleshooting or messing with settings. Luckily I am invested in this with someone who is. The drawback is that this person lives approximately an hour away from me, and every time something needs updating or fixing he needs to make the trip to my place. So I am wondering what software is out there that would allow him full control of these mining rigs from the comfort of his home? I have played around with quick support but find it is somewhat limited in terms of what I am looking for. Anyone out there have any better ideas?
