Use this page when planning monitoring before hardware arrives — or when your dashboard shows green while pool shares dip.
Minimum Compatibility Thresholds
| Parameter | Minimum for Reliable Monitoring |
|---|---|
| Per-worker hash rating | 0.05 computing power or higher |
| Management VLAN | Dedicated, no guest Wi-Fi bridge |
| Probe interval | 30s worker / 60s switch (adjust for count) |
| Collector placement | Same switch tier as monitored workers |
| VPN path | Test from off-site monthly |
Probe Path Diagram
- Worker agent → local switch port
- Collector host on management VLAN
- Encrypted tunnel to operator VPN
- Dashboard API (read-only account)
Blind spots appear when step 2 sits on the wrong VLAN or when step 3 routes through a home router with SIP ALG enabled — we have seen both in Incheon yards.
Software We Configure
HiveOS, Awesome Miner, Minerstat, and custom Grafana stacks each need different agent packaging. We do not license software; we document versions tested on your hardware class during the visit.
Pre-Visit Self-Check
- Can you SSH to every worker from the collector IP?
- Does disabling one switch port drop only the workers on that port in the dashboard?
- Do temperature alerts fire when you aim a heat gun at intake (test during staffed hours)?
If any answer is no, book networking integration before monitoring configuration.
Seasonal Adjustments
Summer baseline intake temps in unconditioned sheds run 8–12°C above winter. We ship threshold tables per season so false heat alerts do not desensitize staff.
