An Alert System is needed to track the performance of mining equipment in a Mining Pool. Alerts are set up to notify you if there are significant changes in the performance of your equipment. When configuring Alert Limits, you can specify them either in Percentage (%) or in fixed Peta-Hashes per Second (Ph/s).
Ph/s (Peta-Hashes per Second) and Eh/s (Exa-Hashes per Second) are units of measurement for computational power. By monitoring Ph/s value, you can track how effectively your worker(s) are performing.
| Hash | It is a fixed-length string of characters generated by a cryptographic algorithm. In mining, miners perform computations to find a hash that meets specific criteria. |
| Hashes per Second (H/s) | It is a unit of measurement used to quantify the speed at which a computer or mining device can perform hashing operations. In the context of mining, particularly for Proof-of-Work-based cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, H/s measures the number of cryptographic hash functions a device can compute in one second. |

Th/s (Tera-Hashes per Second)/ Peta-Hashes per Second (Ph/s)/ Exa-Hashes per Second (Eh/s) |
A unit of measurement that represents the computational power of a Mining Pool or Mining Equipment. 1Th/s Represents (1,000,000,000,000 or 10^12) H/s. 1 Ph/s Represents (1,000,000,000,000,000 or 10^15) H/s. 1 Eh/s Represents (1,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 10^18) H/s. |
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Set Up an Alert Limit
- Navigate to the Mining Dashboard — Select Worker(s) — Change Alert Limit. You can set Alert Limit(s) either individually for one worker or for multiple workers.
Alert for One Worker via Web
Alert for Multiple Workers via Web
Setting Alert Limits for One Worker
If you set the Alert Limit for a single worker, specifying the limit in Ph/s can be straightforward and effective. Alternatively, you can adjust the Alert Limit in percentage. This method allows you to set a specific, fixed value that matches the capacity and performance expectations for that particular worker.
For example: If a worker’s average Hash Rate (HR) is 100 Ph/s, you might set an Alert Limit directly at 70 Ph/s.
Setting Alert Limits for Multiple Workers
When managing multiple workers, specifying the Alert Limit as a percentage is more efficient and adaptive. This approach ensures that the Alert Limits are calculated based on each worker’s performance, considering their varying capacities and average Hash Rate (HR).
By setting a percentage, the system recalculates the Alert Limit for each worker separately. This ensures that each worker’s performance is monitored based on their capabilities, providing accurate and relevant alerts.
Example Scenario for Multiple Workers
| Worker | Average HR (Ph/s) | Alert Limit (%) | Calculated Alert Limit (Ph/s) |
| Worker A | 100 | 30 | 70.0 |
| Worker B | 200 | 30 | 140.0 |
| Worker C | 50 | 30 | 35.0 |
