"chia farm summary" output on the main node with multiple farmers is useless

[happycouak]

Apologies if the question as been already asked but didnt found any answers yet.

Following the doc here [1], I have just migrated my setup from one node without any local plots (full_node + farmer + harvester) connected to different NAS which were sharing plots overs the network to the main, to harvester installed on each NAS forwarding signages/proofs to the main node.

So far so good.

Thing now is the ouput of "chia farm summary" on the main node, which I were monitoring with care before, didn't show anymore all this useful information like plots count, total size of plots and expected time to win:

Farming status: Farming
Total chia farmed: 0.0 <===
User transaction fees: 0.0
Block rewards: 0.0 <===
Last height farmed: 0 <===
Plot count: 0 <===
Total size of plots: 0.000 GiB <===
Estimated network space: 18664.575 PiB
Expected time to win: Unknown <===
Note: log into your key using 'chia wallet show' to see rewards for each key

Is it the expected behavior ? is there a way to get back these useful informations on the main node ?

Same issue.

Also, the useless information from slave node , any way to add Farming status: and other parameters ?

Connection error. Check if wallet is running at 9256
Connection error. Check if full node is running at 8555
Connection error. Check if farmer is running at 8559
Farming status: Not available
Total chia farmed: Unknown
User transaction fees: Unknown
Block rewards: Unknown
Last height farmed: Unknown
Plot count: 17
Total size of plots: 1.683 TiB
Estimated network space: Unknown
Expected time to win: Unknown
Note: log into your key using 'chia wallet show' to see rewards for each key

I have the same issue. Is it affecting the reward of harvesting or only a display issue?

[firmicus]

I'm in the same situation, only have a few plots on the farmer but 50TB on the remote harvester.
Is it affecting my potential reward?

Many thanks'

It's a display issue. I solved it with ChiaMonitor. https://github.com/ytx1991/ChiaMonitor

[gades]

But it's third party software and we're expecting it in the core app because it's showing wrong information and it's not clear for understanding process of mining

[gades]

Also, we can use zabbix with UserParrameter

[rmica]

You're right but meanwhile it can help. I like the zabbix way.

[gades]

https://github.com/gades/zabbix-chia-harvester here is first template for monitoring

[hengic]

@rmica Thank you very much. It's quite helpful. But there're some fields not shown properly. See below pic.

I don't see any pic...

[hengic]

Many fields show "No Data"

[rmica]

Check the paths in ChiaMonitor/data_collect/run_mtail.sh (or .bat), on the farmer node. Fix the default "../venv/bin/chia farm summary > farmer_summary.log" to your chia venv path.

[hengic]

thanks. it's the path issue.

[loppefaaret]

it is just a display issue - and is currently planned to be expanded on with an updated farmer <-> harvester protocol - but it is not top priority

[gades]

Added template for monitoring chia harvest nodes

https://github.com/gades/zabbix-chia-harvester

[gades]

Added total count of plots

[j4r3kb]

Only way to monitor a harvester is to run tail -f ~/.chia/mainnet/log/debug.log with debug level INFO in config.

[rmica]

ChiaMonitor does it.

We believe this is resolved in 1.2

[happycouak]

Solved by v 1.2.

[gades]

yes, but they did broke information about count of local plots on remote harvester

chia farm summary Connection error. Check if farmer is running at 8559 Connection error. Check if full node is running at 8555 Unclosed client session client_session: <aiohttp.client.ClientSession object at 0x7f1bcb83c160> Connection error. Check if farmer is running at 8559 Farming status: Not available Plot count: Unknown Total size of plots: Unknown Estimated network space: Unknown Expected time to win: Unknown For details on farmed rewards and fees you should run 'chia start wallet' and 'chia wallet show'
