This README contains details about the cgminer RPC API
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It also includes some detailed information at the end,
|
|
|
|
about using miner.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you start cgminer with the "--api-listen" option, it will listen on a
|
|
|
|
simple TCP/IP socket for single string API requests from the same machine
|
|
|
|
running cgminer and reply with a string and then close the socket each time
|
|
|
|
If you add the "--api-network" option, it will accept API requests from any
|
|
|
|
network attached computer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can only access the comands that reply with data in this mode.
|
|
|
|
By default, you cannot access any privileged command that affects the miner -
|
|
|
|
you will receive an access denied status message see --api-allow below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can specify IP addresses/prefixes that are only allowed to access the API
|
|
|
|
with the "--api-allow" option e.g. --api-allow W:192.168.0.1,10.0.0/24
|
|
|
|
will allow 192.168.0.1 or any address matching 10.0.0.*, but nothing else
|
|
|
|
IP addresses are automatically padded with extra '.0's as needed
|
|
|
|
Without a /prefix is the same as specifying /32
|
|
|
|
0/0 means all IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
The 'W:' on the front gives that address/subnet privileged access to commands
|
|
|
|
that modify cgminer (thus all API commands)
|
|
|
|
Without it those commands return an access denied status.
|
|
|
|
See --api-groups below to define other groups like W:
|
|
|
|
Privileged access is checked in the order the IP addresses were supplied to
|
|
|
|
"--api-allow"
|
|
|
|
The first match determines the privilege level.
|
|
|
|
Using the "--api-allow" option overides the "--api-network" option if they
|
|
|
|
are both specified
|
|
|
|
With "--api-allow", 127.0.0.1 is not by default given access unless specified
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More groups (like the privileged group W:) can be defined using the
|
|
|
|
--api-groups command
|
|
|
|
Valid groups are only the letters A-Z (except R & W are predefined) and are
|
|
|
|
not case sensitive
|
|
|
|
The R: group is the same as not privileged access
|
|
|
|
The W: group is (as stated) privileged access (thus all API commands)
|
|
|
|
To give an IP address/subnet access to a group you use the group letter
|
|
|
|
in front of the IP address instead of W: e.g. P:192.168.0/32
|
|
|
|
An IP address/subnet can only be a member of one group
|
|
|
|
A sample API group would be:
|
|
|
|
--api-groups P:switchpool:enablepool:addpool:disablepool:removepool.poolpriority:*
|
|
|
|
This would create a group 'P' that can do all current pool commands and all
|
|
|
|
non-priviliged commands - the '*' means all non-priviledged commands
|
|
|
|
Without the '*' the group would only have access to the pool commands
|
|
|
|
Defining multiple groups example:
|
|
|
|
--api-groups Q:quit:restart:*,S:save
|
|
|
|
This would define 2 groups:
|
|
|
|
Q: that can 'quit' and 'restart' as well as all non-priviledged commands
|
|
|
|
S: that can only 'save' and no other commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The RPC API request can be either simple text or JSON.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the request is JSON (starts with '{'), it will reply with a JSON formatted
|
|
|
|
response, otherwise it replies with text formatted as described further below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The JSON request format required is '{"command":"CMD","parameter":"PARAM"}'
|
|
|
|
(though of course parameter is not required for all requests)
|
|
|
|
where "CMD" is from the "Request" column below and "PARAM" would be e.g.
|
|
|
|
the CPU/GPU number if required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An example request in both formats to set GPU 0 fan to 80%:
|
|
|
|
gpufan|0,80
|
|
|
|
{"command":"gpufan","parameter":"0,80"}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The format of each reply (unless stated otherwise) is a STATUS section
|
|
|
|
followed by an optional detail section
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From API version 1.7 onwards, reply strings in JSON and Text have the
|
|
|
|
necessary escaping as required to avoid ambiguity - they didn't before 1.7
|
|
|
|
For JSON the 2 characters '"' and '\' are escaped with a '\' before them
|
|
|
|
For Text the 4 characters '|' ',' '=' and '\' are escaped the same way
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only user entered information will contain characters that require being
|
|
|
|
escaped, such as Pool URL, User and Password or the Config save filename,
|
|
|
|
when they are returned in messages or as their values by the API
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For API version 1.4 and later:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The STATUS section is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
STATUS=X,When=NNN,Code=N,Msg=string,Description=string|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
STATUS=X Where X is one of:
|
|
|
|
W - Warning
|
|
|
|
I - Informational
|
|
|
|
S - Success
|
|
|
|
E - Error
|
|
|
|
F - Fatal (code bug)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When=NNN
|
|
|
|
Standard long time of request in seconds
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Code=N
|
|
|
|
Each unique reply has a unigue Code (See api.c - #define MSG_NNNNNN)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Msg=string
|
|
|
|
Message matching the Code value N
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description=string
|
|
|
|
This defaults to the cgminer version but is the value of --api-description
|
|
|
|
if it was specified at runtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For API version 1.10 and later:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The list of requests - a (*) means it requires privileged access - and replies are:

restart (*) none There is no status section but just a single "RESTART"
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stats STATS Each device or pool that has 1 or more getworks
|
|
|
|
with a list of stats regarding getwork times
|
|
|
|
The values returned by stats may change in future
|
|
|
|
versions thus would not normally be displayed
|
|
|
|
Device drivers are also able to add stats to the
|
|
|
|
end of the details returned
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
check|cmd COMMAND Exists=Y/N, <- 'cmd' exists in this version
|
|
|
|
Access=Y/N| <- you have access to use 'cmd'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
failover-only|true/false (*)
|
|
|
|
none There is no reply section just the STATUS section
|
|
|
|
stating what failover-only was set to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you enable, disable or restart a GPU or PGA, you will also get Thread messages
|
|
|
|
in the cgminer status window
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'poolpriority' command can be used to reset the priority order of multiple
|
|
|
|
pools with a single command - 'switchpool' only sets a single pool to first priority
|
|
|
|
Each pool should be listed by id number in order of preference (first = most
|
|
|
|
preferred)
|
|
|
|
Any pools not listed will be prioritised after the ones that are listed, in the
|
|
|
|
priority order they were originally
|
|
|
|
If the priority change affects the miner's preference for mining, it may switch
|
|
|
|
immediately
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you switch to a different pool to the current one (including by priority
|
|
|
|
change), you will get a 'Switching to URL' message in the cgminer status
|
|
|
|
windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obviously, the JSON format is simply just the names as given before the '='
|
|
|
|
with the values after the '='
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you enable cgminer debug (-D or --debug) you will also get messages showing
|
|
|
|
details of the requests received and the replies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are included 4 program examples for accessing the API:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
api-example.php - a php script to access the API
|
|
|
|
usAge: php api-example.php command
|
|
|
|
by default it sends a 'summary' request to the miner at 127.0.0.1:4028
|
|
|
|
If you specify a command it will send that request instead
|
|
|
|
You must modify the line "$socket = getsock('127.0.0.1', 4028);" at the
|
|
|
|
beginning of "function request($cmd)" to change where it looks for cgminer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
API.java/API.class
|
|
|
|
a java program to access the API (with source code)
|
|
|
|
usAge is: java API command address port
|
|
|
|
Any missing or blank parameters are replaced as if you entered:
|
|
|
|
java API summary 127.0.0.1 4028
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
api-example.c - a 'C' program to access the API (with source code)
|
|
|
|
usAge: api-example [command [ip/host [port]]]
|
|
|
|
again, as above, missing or blank parameters are replaced as if you entered:
|
|
|
|
api-example summary 127.0.0.1 4028
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
miner.php - an example web page to access the API
|
|
|
|
This includes buttons and inputs to attempt access to the privileged commands
|
|
|
|
See the end of this API-README for details of how to tune the display
|
|
|
|
and also to use the option to display a multi-rig summary

|
|
|
|
Support was added to cgminer for API access groups with the --api-groups option
|
|
|
|
It's 100% backward compatible with previous --api-access commands

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modified API commands:
|
|
|
|
'save' no longer requires a filename (use default if not specified)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
'stats'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
N.B. the 'stats' command can change at any time so any specific content
|
|
|
|
present should not be relied upon.
|
|
|
|
The data content is mainly used for debugging purposes or hidden options
|
|
|
|
in cgminer and can change as development work requires
|
|
|
|
|
|

necessary escaping as required to avoid ambiguity
|
|
|
|
For JSON the 2 characters '"' and '\' are escaped with a '\' before them

miner.php
|
|
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
miner.php is a PHP based interface to the cgminer RPC API
|
|
|
|
(referred to simply as the API below)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It can show rig details, summaries and input fields to allow you to change
|
|
|
|
cgminer
|
|
|
|
You can also create custom summary pages with it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has two levels to the security:
|
|
|
|
1) cgminer can be configured to allow or disallow API access and access level
|
|
|
|
security for miner.php
|
|
|
|
2) miner.php can be configured to allow or disallow privileged cgminer
|
|
|
|
access, if cgminer is configured to allow privileged access for miner.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use miner.php requires a web server with PHP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basics: On xubuntu 11.04, to install apache2 and php, the commands are:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install apache2
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install php5
|
|
|
|
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Fedora 17:
|
|
|
|
yum install httpd php
|
|
|
|
systemctl restart httpd.service
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable httpd.service --system
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On windows there are a few options.
|
|
|
|
Try one of these (I've never used either one)
|
|
|
|
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
|
|
|
|
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The basic cgminer option to enable the API is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--api-listen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or in your cgminer.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"api-listen" : true,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(without the ',' on the end if it is the last item)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the web server is running on the cgminer computer, the above
|
|
|
|
is the only change required to give miner.php basic access to
|
|
|
|
the cgminer API
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the web server runs on a different computer to cgminer,
|
|
|
|
you will also need to tell cgminer to allow the web server
|
|
|
|
to access cgminer's API and tell miner.php where cgminer is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming a.b.c.d is the IP address of the web server, you
|
|
|
|
would add the following to cgminer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--api-listen --api-allow a.b.c.d
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or in your cgminer.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"api-listen" : true,
|
|
|
|
"api-allow" : "a.b.c.d",
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to tell cgminer to give the web server read access to the API
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You also need to tell miner.php where cgminer is.
|
|
|
|
Assuming cgminer is at IP address e.f.g.h, then you would
|
|
|
|
edit miner.php and change the line
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$rigs = array('e.f.g.h:4028');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See --api-network or --api-allow for more access details
|
|
|
|
and how to give write access
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have a web server with PHP running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
copy your miner.php to the main web folder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Xubuntu 11.04
|
|
|
|
/var/www/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Fedora 17
|
|
|
|
/var/www/html/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows
|
|
|
|
see your windows Web/PHP documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming the IP address of the web server is a.b.c.d
|
|
|
|
Then in your web browser go to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://a.b.c.d/miner.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Done :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rest of this documentation deals with the more complex
|
|
|
|
functions of miner.php, using myminer.php, creaing custom
|
|
|
|
summaries and displaying multiple cgminer rigs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you create a file called myminer.php in the same web folder
|
|
|
|
where you put miner.php, miner.php will load it when it runs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful, to put any changes you need to make to miner.php
|
|
|
|
instead of changing miner.php
|
|
|
|
Thus if you update/get a new miner.php, you won't lose the changes
|
|
|
|
you have made if you put all your changes in myminer.php
|
|
|
|
(and don't change miner.php at all)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A simple example myminer.php that defines 2 rigs
|
|
|
|
(that I will keep referring to further below) is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
$rigs = array('192.168.0.100:4028:A', '192.168.0.102:4028:B');
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
?>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in myminer.php superscede what is in miner.php
|
|
|
|
However, this is only valid for variables in miner.php before the
|
|
|
|
2 lines where myminer.php is included by miner.php:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if (file_exists('myminer.php'))
|
|
|
|
include_once('myminer.php');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every variable in miner.php above those 2 lines, can be changed by
|
|
|
|
simply defining them in your myminer.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So although miner.php originally contains the line
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if you created the example myminer.php given above, it would actually
|
|
|
|
change the value of $rigs that is used when miner.php is running
|
|
|
|
i.e. you don't have to remove or comment out the $rigs line in miner.php
|
|
|
|
It will be superceded by myminer.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The example.php above also shows how to define more that one rig to
|
|
|
|
be shown my miner.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each rig string is 2 or 3 values seperated by colons ':'
|
|
|
|
They are simply an IP address or host name, followed by the
|
|
|
|
port number (usually 4028) and an optional Name string
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
miner.php displays rig buttons that will show the defails of a single
|
|
|
|
rig when you click on it - the button shows either the rig number,
|
|
|
|
or the 'Name' string if you provide it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PHP arrays contain each string seperated by a comma, but no comma after
|
|
|
|
the last one
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So an example for 3 rigs would be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$rigs = array('192.168.0.100:4028:A', '192.168.0.102:4028:B', '192.168.0.110:4028:C');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course each of the rigs listed would also have to have the API
|
|
|
|
running and be set to allow the web server to access the API - as
|
|
|
|
explained before
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So basically, any variable explained below can be put in myminer.php
|
|
|
|
if you wanted to set it to something different to it's default value
|
|
|
|
and did not want to change miner.php itself every time you updated it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below is each variable that can be changed and an explanation of each
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$readonly = false;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set $readonly to true to force miner.php to be readonly
|
|
|
|
This means it won't allow you to change cgminer even if the cgminer API
|
|
|
|
options allow it to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you set $readonly to false then it will check cgminer 'privileged'
|
|
|
|
and will show input fields and buttons on the single rig page
|
|
|
|
allowing you to change devices, pools and even quit or restart
|
|
|
|
cgminer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, if the 'privileged' test fails, the code will set $readonly to
|
|
|
|
true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$notify = true;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set $notify to false to NOT attempt to display the notify command
|
|
|
|
table of data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set $notify to true to attempt to display the notify command on
|
|
|
|
the single rig page
|
|
|
|
If your older version of cgminer returns an 'Invalid command'
|
|
|
|
coz it doesn't have notify - it just shows the error status table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$checklastshare = true;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set $checklastshare to true to do the following checks:
|
|
|
|
If a device's last share is 12x expected ago then display as an error
|
|
|
|
If a device's last share is 8x expected ago then display as a warning
|
|
|
|
If either of the above is true, also display the whole line highlighted
|
|
|
|
This assumes shares are 1 difficulty shares
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set $checklastshare to false to not do the above checks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'expected' is calculated from the device MH/s value
|
|
|
|
So for example, a device that hashes at 380MH/s should (on average)
|
|
|
|
find a share every 11.3s
|
|
|
|
If the last share was found more than 11.3 x 12 seconds (135.6s) ago,
|
|
|
|
it is considered an error and highlighted
|
|

If the last share was found more than 11.3 x 8 seconds (90.4s) ago,
|
|
|
|
it is considered a warning and highlighted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default highlighting is very subtle
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$poolinputs = false;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set $poolinputs to true to show the input fields for adding a pool
|
|
|
|
and changing the pool priorities on a single rig page
|
|
|
|
However, if $readonly is true, it will not display them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set $rigs to an array of your cgminer rigs that are running
|
|
|
|
format: 'IP:Port' or 'Host:Port' or 'Host:Port:Name'
|
|
|
|
If you only have one rig, it will just show the detail of that rig
|
|
|
|
If you have more than one rig it will show a summary of all the rigs
|
|
|
|
with buttons to show the details of each rig -
|
|
|
|
the button contents will be 'Name' rather than rig number, if you
|
|
|
|
specify 'Name'
|
|
|
|
e.g. $rigs = array('127.0.0.1:4028','myrig.com:4028:Sugoi');
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$rigtotals = true;
|
|
|
|
$forcerigtotals = false;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set $rigtotals to true to display totals on the single rig page
|
|
|
|
'false' means no totals (and ignores $forcerigtotals)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If $rigtotals is true, all data is also right aligned
|
|
|
|
With false, it's as before, left aligned
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option is just here to allow people to set it to false
|
|
|
|
if they prefer the old non-total display when viewing a single rig
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, if there is only one line shown in any section, then no
|
|
|
|
total will be shown (to save screen space)
|
|
|
|
You can force it to always show rig totals on the single rig page,
|
|
|
|
even if there is only one line, by setting $forcerigtotals = true;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$socksndtimeoutsec = 10;
|
|
|
|
$sockrcvtimeoutsec = 40;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The numbers are integer seconds
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The defaults should be OK for most cases
|
|
|
|
However, the longer SND is, the longer you have to wait while
|
|
|
|
php hangs if the target cgminer isn't runnning or listening
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RCV should only ever be relevant if cgminer has hung but the
|
|
|
|
API thread is still running, RCV would normally be >= SND
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feel free to increase SND if your network is very slow
|
|
|
|
or decrease RCV if that happens often to you
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, on some windows PHP, apparently the $usec is ignored
|
|
|
|
(so usec can't be specified)
|
|
|
|

---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$hidefields = array();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
List of fields NOT to be displayed
|
|
|
|
You can use this to hide data you don't want to see or don't want
|
|
|
|
shown on a public web page
|
|
|
|
The list of sections are:
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY, POOL, PGA, GPU, NOTIFY, CONFIG, DEVDETAILS, DEVS
|
|
|
|
See the web page for the list of field names (the table headers)
|
|
|
|
It is an array of 'SECTION.Field Name' => 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This example would hide the slightly more sensitive pool information:
|
|
|
|
Pool URL and pool username:
|
|
|
|
$hidefields = array('POOL.URL' => 1, 'POOL.User' => 1);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you just want to hide the pool username:
|
|
|
|
$hidefields = array('POOL.User' => 1);
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
$changerefresh = true;
|
|
|
|
$autorefresh = 0;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Auto-refresh of the page (in seconds) - integers only
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ignorerefresh = true/false always ignore refresh parameters
|
|
|
|
$changerefresh = true/false show buttons to change the value
|
|
|
|
$autorefresh = default value, 0 means dont auto-refresh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

---------

|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$placebuttons = 'top';
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where to place the Refresh, Summary, Custom Pages, Quit, etc. buttons
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Valid values are: 'top' 'bot' 'both'
|
|
|
|
anything else means don't show them - case sensitive
|
|
|
|
|

Default:

|
|
|
|
$miner_font_size = '13pt';
|
|
|
|
|
|

Change these to set the font and font size used on the web page
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$colouroverride = array();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use this to change the web page colour scheme
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See $colourtable in miner.php for the list of possible names to change
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simply put in $colouroverride, just the colours you wish to change
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. to change the colour of the header font and background
|
|
|
|
you could do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$colouroverride = array(
|
|
|
|
'td.h color' => 'green',
|
|
|
|
'td.h background' => 'blue'
|
|
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
|
|

---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
$allowcustompages = true;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should we allow custom pages?
|
|
|
|
(or just completely ignore them and don't display the buttons)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OK this part is more complex: Custom Summary Pages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A custom summary page in an array of 'section' => array('FieldA','FieldB'...)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The section defines what data you want in the summary table and the Fields
|
|
|
|
define what data you want shown from that section
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Standard sections are:
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY, POOL, PGA, GPU, NOTIFY, CONFIG, DEVDETAILS, DEVS, STATS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fields are the names as shown on the headers on the normal pages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fields can be 'name=new name' to display 'name' with a different heading
|
|
|
|
'new name'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are also now joined sections:
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY+POOL, SUMMARY+DEVS, SUMMARY+CONFIG, DEVS+NOTIFY, DEVS+DEVDETAILS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These sections are an SQL join of the two sections and the fields in them
|
|
|
|
are named section.field where section. is the section the field comes from
|
|
|
|
See the example further down
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also note:
|
|
|
|
- empty tables are not shown
|
|
|
|
- empty columns (e.g. an unknown field) are not shown
|
|
|
|
- missing field data shows as blank
|
|
|
|
- the field name '*' matches all fields except in joined sections
|
|
|
|
(useful for STATS)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are 2 hard coded sections:
|
|
|
|
DATE - displays a date table like 'Summary'
|
|
|
|
RIGS - displays a rig table like 'Summary'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each custom summary requires a second array, that can be empty, listing fields
|
|
|
|
to be totaled for each section
|
|
|
|
If there is no matching total data, no total will show
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looking at the Mobile example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$mobilepage = array(
|
|
|
|
'DATE' => null,
|
|
|
|
'RIGS' => null,
|
|
|
|
'SUMMARY' => array('Elapsed', 'MHS av', 'Found Blocks=Blks',
|
|
|
|
Accepted', 'Rejected=Rej', 'Utility'),
|
|
|
|
'DEVS+NOTIFY' => array('DEVS.Name=Name', 'DEVS.ID=ID', 'DEVS.Status=Status',
|
|
|
|
'DEVS.Temperature=Temp', 'DEVS.MHS av=MHS av',
|
|
|
|
'DEVS.Accepted=Accept', 'DEVS.Rejected=Rej',
|
|
|
|
'DEVS.Utility=Utility', 'NOTIFY.Last Not Well=Not Well'),
|
|
|
|
'POOL' => array('POOL', 'Status', 'Accepted', 'Rejected=Rej', 'Last Share Time'));
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$mobilesum = array(
|
|
|
|
'SUMMARY' => array('MHS av', 'Found Blocks', 'Accepted', 'Rejected', 'Utility'),
|
|
|
|
'DEVS+NOTIFY' => array('DEVS.MHS av', 'DEVS.Accepted', 'DEVS.Rejected', 'DEVS.Utility'),
|
|
|
|
'POOL' => array('Accepted', 'Rejected'));
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$customsummarypages = array('Mobile' => array($mobilepage, $mobilesum));
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will show 5 tables (according to $mobilepage)
|
|
|
|
Each table will have the chosen details for all the rigs specified in $rigs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DATE
|
|
|
|
A single box with the web server's current date and time
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RIGS
|
|
|
|
A table of the rigs: description, time, versions etc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will use the API 'summary' command and show the selected fields:
|
|
|
|
Elapsed, MHS av, Found Blocks, Accepted, Rejected and Utility
|
|
|
|
However, 'Rejected=Rej' means that the header displayed for the 'Rejected'
|
|
|
|
field will be 'Rej', instead of 'Rejected' (to save space)
|
|
|
|
Same for 'Found Blocks=Blks' - to save space
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DEVS+NOTIFY
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will list each of the devices on each rig and display the list of
|
|
|
|
fields as shown
|
|
|
|
It will also include the 'Last Not Well' field from the 'notify' command
|
|
|
|
so you know when the device was last not well
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will notice that you need to rename each field e.g. 'DEVS.Name=Name'
|
|
|
|
since each field name in the join between DEVS and NOTIFY is actually
|
|
|
|
section.fieldname, not just fieldname
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The join code automatically adds 2 fields to each GPU device: 'Name' and 'ID'
|
|
|
|
They don't exist in the API 'devs' output but you can correctly calculate
|
|
|
|
them from the GPU device data
|
|
|
|
These two fields are used to join DEVS to NOTIFY i.e. find the NOTIFY
|
|
|
|
record that has the same Name and ID as the DEVS record and join them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
POOL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will use the API 'pools' command and show the selected fields:
|
|
|
|
POOL, Status, Accepted, Rejected, Last Share Time
|
|
|
|
Again, I renamed the 'Rejected' field using 'Rejected=Rej', to save space
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$mobilesum lists the sections and fields that should have a total
|
|
|
|
You can't define them for 'DATE' or 'RIGS' since they are hard coded tables
|
|
|
|
The example given:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY
|
|
|
|
Show a total at the bottom of the columns for:
|
|
|
|
MHS av, Found Blocks, Accepted, Rejected, Utility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Firstly note that you use the original name i.e. for 'Rejected=Rej'
|
|
|
|
you use 'Rejected', not 'Rej' and not 'Rejected=Rej'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Secondly note that it simply adds up the fields
|
|
|
|
If you ask for a total of a string field you will get the numerical
|
|
|
|
sum of the string data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DEVS+NOTIFY
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simply note in this join example that you must use the original field
|
|
|
|
names which are section.fieldname, not just fieldname
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
POOL
|
|
|
|
Show a total at the bottom of the columns for:
|
|
|
|
Accepted and Rejected
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Again remember to use the original field name 'Rejected'
|
