How to use Minerstat for monitoring? (Dashboard Setup)

Dashboard Configuration Overview

1. Log into Minerstat using valid credentials and navigate to the Dashboard tab from the left-side navigation panel.

2. Click the + Add Widget button located in the top-right corner of the dashboard interface.

3. Select widget types such as Rig Status, Hashrate Trend, or Profitability Summary based on real-time mining priorities.

4. Assign each widget to a specific rig group by choosing from the dropdown menu labeled Group Filter.

5. Adjust time range settings for historical data visualization using the calendar icon next to the widget header.

Rig Group Assignment Process

1. Access Settings → Rig Groups to define logical clusters of mining hardware sharing similar configurations.

2. Create new groups by entering descriptive names like ETH-RTX3090-PoolA or BTC-S9-Location-B to reflect coin, hardware, and infrastructure context.

3. Assign individual rigs to these groups via the Edit Rig modal, ensuring accurate categorization for targeted monitoring.

4. Enable group-level notifications by toggling alerts under Alert Settings for metrics including temperature thresholds, offline duration, or rejected share rates.

5. Confirm group integrity by verifying rig counts and status indicators displayed directly on the dashboard widget headers.

Real-Time Metric Visualization

1. Activate live updates by enabling the Auto-Refresh toggle found in the top bar of each widget.

2. Hover over any plotted point in a hashrate chart to reveal exact timestamped values measured in MH/s, GH/s, or TH/s depending on algorithm and device class.

3. Observe color-coded status indicators: green for operational, yellow for warning (e.g., fan speed below 30%), red for critical failure (e.g., GPU temp > 90°C).

4. Use the Expand View icon to open full-screen charts with zoom and pan functionality for deeper trend analysis.

5. Cross-reference power consumption data shown alongside hashrate to calculate instantaneous efficiency in W/GH or W/TH.

Alert Rule Customization

1. Navigate to Alerts → Manage Rules to configure triggers tied to specific mining events.

2. Define conditions such as GPU Temp > 85°C for 5 minutes or Hashrate Drop > 20% over 10 minutes using precise numeric thresholds.

3. Select notification channels including email, Telegram webhook, or Discord integration by editing the Delivery Methods section per rule.

4. Set suppression windows to avoid alert fatigue during scheduled maintenance periods using the Silence Schedule option.

5. Test each alert configuration using the Simulate Alert function before deploying it to production rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I monitor rigs running different algorithms on the same dashboard?A: Yes. Minerstat supports multi-algorithm rigs within a single dashboard view. Each rig reports its active algorithm independently, and widgets display metrics segmented by coin and algorithm automatically.

Q: Is it possible to export dashboard data to CSV or PDF?A: Yes. Click the Export button inside any expanded widget to download time-series data in CSV format or static visualizations as PDF files.

Q: Do dashboard widgets update when rigs are offline?A: Widgets retain the last known values until connectivity resumes. Offline rigs appear with grayed-out status indicators and timestamps showing the last successful heartbeat.

Q: Can I share a read-only dashboard link with team members?A: Yes. Use the Share Dashboard feature to generate secure, time-limited URLs granting view-only access without requiring account creation.
