Cacti, yes you can
You can use rrd if you open the --api-allow --api-listen etc
You need to craft a cron script to query status and feed the relevant data to rrdtool
see :-

its basically the same

no cacti or similar usage?

Are there any instructions available on how to cross compile bfgminer?
Just configure with the --host=triplet of your choice and make 
Eg:
Code:
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
./configure --host=mips-openwrt-linux
./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32
Code:
arm-linux-gnueabihf-emerge uthash

Thank you.
Is there a location where it will look for cross compiled versions of its libraries? I have this on by build host:
Quote
emerge -pv uthash
...
[ebuild R ] dev-libs/uthash-1.9.7 USE="{-test}" 0 kB
...
[ebuild R ] dev-libs/uthash-1.9.7 USE="{-test}" 0 kB
But I get:
Code:
./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/tmp/arm-root
...
checking for working alloca.h... yes
checking for alloca... yes
checking whether HASH_ITER is declared... no
configure: error: Could not find HASH_ITER - please install uthash-dev 1.9.2+
Do I have to build all the required in a pre-defined location prior to running configure?

is there some kind of web app to monitor bfgminer? something that draws some kind of chart or something? something like cgwatcher but web... like with cacti? 
by the way, screen did it for me!

As always, BFGMiner does not support mining multiple blockchains at the same time.
That is unlikely to change unless someone submits a pull request dealing with it in a sane manner.

I'm not mining on them at the same time, I'm totally switching pools to a new blockchain - I think the only thing that's lacking is to revalidate the network difficulty every time the pool changes - if you could give me a pointer to the code that handles this, I can have a go adding this code.

I'm having an issue when trying to switch pools via the RPC interface between different block chains. When I switch from bitcoin to terracoin, sometimes BFCminer doesn't realise that the network difficulty has changed - it seems that this is only calculated upon a new block, and not when the priority of the pool causes a change of difficulty. The way I am switching pools programatically is using the addpool RPC then switchpool to the new pool, then removepool on the old pool.
I'll try and trace it through the code but wondered if you think this sounds legit..?

If you have multiple asics. Is there a way through bfgminer to physically identify, which unit is which
Depends on the ASIC device. BitForce devices have a LED you can flash via RPC.Code:
bfgminer-rpc "pgaidentify|0"
See README.RPC for more details, including turning on RPC in the first place.

Depends on the ASIC device. BitForce devices have a LED you can flash via RPC.They are jalapeños. Is there a process you can point me to or FAQ on hiw to use RPC to blink the led's
Thanks

I had 14 devices attached, which all display - I attached a few more fpgas and the seem to all be hashing but i only see the first 14 devices - is there someway to force display in the dos window of all devices and their hashing info
Make it bigger. Or scroll the list with the up/down arrow keys.hi!
question for linux savy. why is it that everytime i run "bfgminer &" and close the terminal it shuts down bfgminer? is there some way to keep it running?
is there some kind of remote gui to manage it when in & mode?
If you really want to do this (I also recommend screen), you probably need to use --text-only and --real-quiet.question for linux savy. why is it that everytime i run "bfgminer
is there some kind of remote gui to manage it when in & mode?
in windows 7 the cmd window is locked when started from the exe - is there conf command to set the window size
ahh i figured it out - had to make the windows default dos window bigger and im golden - once running you cannot adjust it

I recommend 'screen', and skip the '&'.
The ampersand just means run it in the background; once you close the terminal, there is no background
The old way was to "nohup" the process. But that was before the days of screen..... June 08, 2013, 02:37:40 PM
