As a miner or Ethereum network enthusiast, it is important to monitor the performance and statistics of your Antminer. Fortunately, many Antminers come with built-in logging options that allow you to record detailed data on temperature, hashrate, and other metrics. In this article, we will walk you through how to log these statistics to a file using SSH.
Prerequisites
Before we dive in, make sure you have:
Antminer connected via SSH
cgminer package installed (required for logging)
A basic understanding of SSH and terminal commands
Step 1: Enable logging with cgminer
To log statistics to a file, you will need to enable the log option in your cgminer configuration file. Open the /etc/cgminer/cgminer.conf file (or the equivalent location on your system) and add the following lines:
log=/var/log/cgminer.log
This will write logs to the /var/log/cgminer.log file, which can be accessed via SSH.
Step 2: Enable Temperature Logging
To log temperature data, you will need to modify the cgminer.conf file. Add the following line:
logfile=/var/log/cgminer/temp.log
This will write temperature logs to the /var/log/cgminer/temp.log file.
Step 3: Enable Hashrate Logging
To log hashrate data, you can use a similar approach as for temperature logging. Add the following lines:
logfile=/var/log/cgminer/hashtime.log
This will write hashrate logs to the file /var/log/cgminer/hashtime.log.
Step 4: Logging Statistics via SSH
To log statistics via SSH, you can use a command like this:
cgminer -log /path/to/log/file
Replace "/path/to/log/file" with the actual path to your desired log file. This will write all logged data to that file.
Example use case
Let’s say you want to log temperature and hashrate statistics for a 12-hour period. You can use a cron job to run the following command daily:
0 cgminer -log /var/log/cgminer/temp.log
This will write temperature logs to /var/log/cgminer/temp.log every day at midnight.
Tips and Variations
To log only specific metrics (e.g. temperature or hashrate), modify the cgminer.conf file accordingly.
You can also use a logging framework like Log4j or Java Util Logging for more advanced logging capabilities.
Be careful when storing sensitive data, such as hashrate values, on your server. Consider implementing encryption and access control to protect this information.
By following these steps, you will be able to log detailed statistics from your Antminer using SSH. This will help you monitor your miner’s performance and make informed decisions for optimal efficiency and profitability.
