Viewing Miner Logs
Miner logs are an important tool for recording the operating status of your device. They help users
monitor performance, quickly identify faults, and analyze root causes. After logging into the miner,
click on the “Miner Log” option in the backend to view the log content.
Miner logs record operational data of the miner and are used for:
Monitoring the miner’s status (such as hashrate, temperature, fan speed).
Diagnosing common faults (such as network disconnections or hashboard errors).
Providing historical data to trace the root cause of issues, making maintenance and
optimization easier.
1.Current Logs: These logs record the miner’s operational status since its last startup. They are
useful for troubleshooting issues that occurred without a reboot.
2.History Logs: These contain long-term operational data. The file size is fixed, and older logs are
overwritten by new ones. After a reboot, historical logs can be used to analyze the cause of faults.
How to Download Logs
- Download Current Logs: Saves the complete logs of the current session.
- Download History Logs: Saves all historical log records for future analysis.
