just wanted to say.. well done...

downloaded, followed the directions, and it just -- worked --

Thanks, for this, and the other scripts of yours I'm running. /clap



Glad to hear it! Let me know if you see anything weird.

I just added some sample pool graphs from two of the mining pools my rigs use.

The Efficiency numbers are calculated from (Accepted/Getworks) * 100 and don't appear to be working properly for anything other than the active pool. More research is needed here....

Very cool.  I was looking at doing something similar until I started using BAMT.

BAMT is pretty cool and has it's place. This is more for folks who run mining farms and want aggregate their monitoring, who prefer to run other OS/platform combinations than are supported by BAMT or want to extend/enhance their monitoring capabilities beyond what is possible in BAMT alone. Since Cacti and CGMINER are both multi-platform you can easily support mixed environments of Linux and Windows.

Will do some preliminary testing as soon as I have the time! Grand thanks to the author!

Initial version posted. Graphs for pool stats are forthcoming.

  • v0.01 4/15/2012
    First working version. Supports cgminer >=2.1.0 API JSON format (>=2.3.2 for PGA support). Supports stats from summary, pools and devs responses. Only tested with GPU support as no PGA or CPU miners were available at the time of release (caveat emptor).


Have at it and let me know if anything looks amiss.

I made significant progress on the devs API support over the past 24 hours and expect to post some additional sample graphs after I have a full 24 hours of data collected.

I don't have access to a cgminer supported PGA, or have CPU mining enabled on my rigs so there might be a few bugs in those areas. If anyone has either of these, would you mind posting the API output from the devs API call, e.g. php api-example.php devs it would help out immensely.

This is absolutely awesome, keep it up and let us know when we can test it out!

Hi folks,

I have had this on my todo list for months, but finally got a few cycles to get started. These templates provide graphs for the stats available from cgminer >=2.1.0 (>=2.3.2 for PGA support) JSON API to compliment my earlier work on pool and AMD GPU Cacti templates.


Sample graphs from my 6990-based GPU miner:

Summary Totals

Total Average Hash Rate (from MHS av)


Total Hash Rate (computed from Total MH)


Total Utility


Total Work


Total Efficiency (computed from Accepted and Getworks)


Total Errors


Devs

5s Average Hash Rate


Average Hash Rate


Fan Percent


Fan Speed


GPU Activity


GPU Clock


GPU Voltage


Hash Rate


Memory Clock


Temperature


Utility


Work


Pools

Work (primary pool)


Work (secondary pool)


Errors (primary pool)


Errors (secondary pool)


Efficiency (primary pool)


Efficiency (secondary pool) Looks like I may have more work to do here




Release History
  • v0.01 4/15/2012
    First working version. Supports cgminer >=2.1.0 API JSON format (>=2.3.2 for PGA support). Supports stats from summary, pools and devs responses. Only tested with GPU support as no PGA or CPU miners were available at the time of release (caveat emptor).

Prerequisites

  • Installed and operational instance of Cacti (Spine and cmd.php pollers both work fine)
  • Perl 5.8.5 or later
  • HTTP::Request Perl module
  • LWP Perl module
  • JSON Perl module
  • JSON::XS Perl module

Install procedure
  • Grab latest script/templates package from here.
  • Unzip the archive
  • Move cgminer_devs_stats.xml and cgminer_pools_stats.xml into your script_queries directory (i.e. cacti/resource/script_queries/)
  • Move query_cgminer_stats.pl into your scripts directory (i.e. cacti/scripts/)
  • Ensure query_cgminer_stats.pl runs (perl query_cgminer_stats.pl generates the help text). If this doesn't work (you see an error about something missing) see the troubleshooting section for resolving Perl issues.
  • Ensure query_cgminer_stats.pl can connect to your CGMINER host, and has read access to the API (perl query_cgminer_stats.pl HOSTNAME summary). If this doesn't work, check your CGMINER options for API access to ensure the requesting host has the appropriate (read-only or read-write) rights.
  • Import the cacti_host_template_cgminer_host.xml host template from the Cacti web GUI.
  • Create a new host in Cacti, selecting the CGMINER Host host template. Set the hostname to your CGMINER hostname or IP. Be sure to disable Downed Host Detection and SNMP unless you have SNMP operational on your host.

Trouble Shooting

Perl issues
  • The most common Perl issue is missing modules. Have a look at this link for assistance in setting up CPAN and testing for missing modules.
  • If you have a Redhat-based distro (RHEL, CentOS, etc), and would prefer to use the RPMs instead of mucking about with CPAN, the perl-libwww-perl RPM (from upstream provider) contains HTTP::Request and other LWP modules. perl-JSON, perl-JSON-XS and perl-Cache-Memcached RPMs are available on RPM Forge and/or EPEL
  • These modules are also available in PPM form for ActiveState's ActivePerl on Windows, but as I don't run Windows I can't verify the details.
